The Still Divided Academy is a wonderful examination of the academic
community that shows their inner workings by addressing a broad range of
issues including: academic politics, tenure, perceived and real
political imbalance, academic freedom, and diversity. Administrators,
professors, and students have very different priorities, values, and
expectations and therefore, often have conflicting opinions on these
issues. Drawing on data collected in a specially commissioned public
opinion survey as well as other recent research on higher education,
Rothman, Kelly-Woessner, and Woessner, create an incredibly readable
presentation of both the similarities and differences between those
running our universities and those attending them. The authors manage to
remain impressively neutral; instead they give us a fuller perspective
of the people on our college campuses.
