This edited volume is unique in the sense that it grapples issues from multiple viewpoints - that of the university\/college administrator and professor, to the K-12 educator. \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book examines increased expectations and how existing policies have spilled over into institutions of higher learning once high school graduates enter this domain. Students' educational expectations resonate with college administrators and policy makers forcing institutions to adapt to these needs. This moves professors to dumb down the curricula and teaching to avoid negative evaluations and protect themselves from unwarranted retaliation. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis confluence of factors reverberates throughout the educational system, producing unintended effects that have collectively led to an alliance between the administr\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe invalidating and marginalizing experiences of faculty of color, the political minefields of the K-12 experience, and the many microaggressions experienced by untenured university faculty are each deeply disturbing and multifaceted issues yet this book manages to bring them together and finds the disturbing truths underlying them all. Chapter 7 brought me to my knees because of the graphic reminders of the constant microaggressions, sexism, racism and disdain for family life and responsibilities have been pervasive throughout my academic career. This book will not make you comfortable, but I advise that any aspiring faculty member read it, particularly those who differ from the fully tenured professorial norm by gender, race, religion, class background, beliefs, etc. As someone told me early in my doctoral studies, ‘Most of this is hazing and the less you look like the typical members of the club, the more hazing you get.’ This book illustrates that truth. I would love to share it with administrators, tenure committees and others in positions of power but I sadly doubt they would recognize themselves between it covers.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Elizabeth Kelley Rhoades, Southern Connecticut State University\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword Jeanette Beatrice Taylor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction G.L.A.
