Items related to No Place to Learn: Why Universities Aren't Working
The Red Cross is studied and criticized. The Royal Family is studied and criticized. Churches and hospitals are studied and criticized. Canadian universities are seldom studied and criticized and are worse off for this neglect. This book seeks to repair this damage by casting a critical eye on how Canadian universities work - or fail to work.

Review:
Raises challenging questions about practices currently plaguing the performance of Canadian colleges. No Place to Learn demolishes what it calls 'the myth of mutual enrichment,' that only active researchers make good teachers, taking a critical look at the allegedly hard-nosed, narrow research favoured by promotion and tenure committees. Although they will not agree with every point, Canadians with a stake in postsecondary education will benefit greatly from this book. Author: John Meisel, Sir Edward Peacock Professor of Political Science Emeritus at Queen’s University
From the Author:
Tom Pocklington and Allan Tupper are both Professors in the Department of Political Science, University of Alberta.

Arguing that too much emphasis is placed on specialized research and too little on teaching, this book contends that students seeking higher education in Canada are being short-changed.
