The book critiques the prevailing focus on economic efficiency and entrepreneurialism in higher education, suggesting that such priorities undermine academic excellence and public service. It highlights a deficiency in intellectual leadership among senior management and calls for academic professionals to take charge of their institutions' moral responsibilities. Rather than reverting to elitist ideals, it advocates for a more equitable university system that avoids early differentiation of students into varied institutional paths.
