Exposing a movement away from the historical aims of community-based education, the text evidences a hijacking of community colleges to serve the objectives of the corporate elite. There has been a decline in community college faculty engagement in shared governance and their loss of recognition as academic and curricular leaders, and the book discusses the potential for redistribution of decision-making power back toward faculty.This text will be of great interest to graduate and postgraduate students, academics, professionals and policy-makers in the fields of Higher Education, Education Policy and Politics, Sociology of Education, Higher Education Management and Education Politics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819344920864,"sku":"NEW0367860457","price":87.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71QumbBwPIL.jpg?v=1781130779","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-impacts-of-neoliberalism-on-us-community-colleges-routledge-studies-in-education-neoliberalism-and-marxism-0367860457","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
