Higher education has been badly tarnished with many scandals — some involving athletics, some involving top people who took advantage of their positions for personal gain, some involving the eagerness to take student money in exchange for little but a college experience.

Lewis recommends the book, but even more recommends that college and university leaders stay focused on educational quality, as Bok has.
