Klappentext zu „The Red Light in the Ivory Tower “
The Red Light in the Ivory Tower: Contexts and Implications of Entrepreneurial Education critically analyzes the operational behaviors of prestigious and prestige-seeking universities, particularly within the context of budget shortfalls and increasing competition. The book challenges entrepreneurial activities within universities by exploring the costs of such ventures in terms of honoring commitments to faculty and students while maintaining integrity of institutional purpose. The book offers six case studies that illustrate the organizational behaviors influenced by prestige indicators. Ultimately, the book challenges readers to address the complex issues of leadership and power within the context of social, political, economic, and historical influences within higher education. By asking difficult questions about the entrepreneurial behaviors of prestigious and prestige-seeking universities, stakeholders can reimagine and reclaim a sense of purpose that can ultimately influence organizational identities and thus the degree to which their universities support and serve their students, faculty, and community.

Pressezitat
"Donna Adair Breault and David Callejo Pérez provide an important critique of the quest for prestige, rankings, and an economistic competitiveness that undermine the democratic and critical roles universities play in free and open societies. Using case studies to illustrate key concepts and ideas, the authors provide a clear and compelling argument about the dangers universities face - and often perpetuate in the name of 'excellence'." (Deron Boyles, Georgia State University Professor of Social Foundations and Social Foundations of Education; Co-author of 'The Politics of Inquiry: Education Research and the 'Culture of Science'', 2009)"Donna Adair Breault and David Callejo Pérez have written a hard-hitting, startling book that challenges all of us to rethink the purposes of higher education. Everyone interested in reforming universities should pay attention to their insightful work." (Wesley Null, Vice Provost for Undergraduate Education, Baylor University)
