Inside Higher Ed presents a review of Marc Bousquet’s book How the University Works: Higher Education and the Low-Wage Nation (NYU Press).

Additionally, the comments and the discussion that follow are worth reading closely. While many of the same adjunct-related issues are rehashed, it’s valuable to read new takes on old themes.
