“Christopher Newfield’s application of the management model and metaphor to the academic scene leads him into what is by far the freshest and most nuanced argument on the corporatization of the university that I can think of.”-Bruce Robbins, author of Secular Vocations: Intellectuals, Professionalism, Culture
“In this compellingly argued book, Christopher Newfield puts current discussions of the corporatization of higher education in a completely new and historically informed light. As Newfield shows, the marriage of ivy and industry is both older and more complex than current critiques of the university have suggested.”-Gerald Graff, author of Clueless in Academe: How Schooling Obscures the Life of the Mind
“Ivy and Industry makes a seminal contribution to the mounting debate over the role of marketplace values in higher education. In elegant and nuanced prose, Christopher Newfield argues persuasively that for more than a century the American university has both spoken truth to, and been the handmaiden of, power. Those committed to a revitalized liberal education have found their champion.”-David L. Kirp, author of Shakespeare, Einstein, and the Bottom Line: The Marketing of Higher Education
