Rezension zu „Our Underachieving Colleges: A Candid Look at How Much Students Learn and Why They Should Be Learning More “
"In the Bok view, American colleges and universities are victims of their own success: they answer to so many constituencies and are expected to serve so many ends that no one can agree on even a few common goals, and in the meantime they have grown complacent."--Charles McGrath, The New York Times
