Australian universities are not happy places. Dr Richard Hil lifts the lid on a higher education system that's corporatised beyond recognition, steeped in bureaucracy and dominated by marketing and PR imperatives rather than intellectual pursuit. With 25 years of experience in the university system, Hil gives us a ferocious and unsentimental call for a re-enlightened education sector, one that isn't only driven by revenue. Written in an accessibly raw style, it reads almost like satire, except sadly, it's the truth.
