Contemporary campus life: transformation, manic managerialism and academentia

Abstract

"Arguably South Africa's most perceptive cultural studies scholar, Keyan Tomaselli takes the reader on a decidedly uncomfortable, insightful, and entertaining ride through the managerial university to show us, barefaced, what we have become.... In the mindless pursuit of efficiency, productivity, and measurement, we have lost sight of the broader purposes of education and the intrinsic value of academic work.... Tomaselli has produced one of the best available satires of academic life. - Jonathan Jansen, President, Academy of Science of South Africa.
