Hi All- Our local paper just had a blurb about a new book by two U. of Waterloo profs: Campus Confidential: 100 startling things you don’t know about Canadian universities. (James Lorimer & Co., 245 pages).

Kids feel entitled, they are lazy, they cheat, they aren't really university material, etc. Not having read the book I don't know if their conclusions are based on data or are just the mutterings of some disaffected academics. Is anyone on this list familiar with the book/authors? Is it worth reading? Thanks, -Don. Don Allen Retired professor Langara College --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: arch...@jab.org.
