Abstract
Picking up where Christopher Jencks's and David Riesman's landmark work <em>The Academic Revolution</em> (1968) left off, this book examines the impact of recent upheavals in higher education on the American professoriate. Examining such factors as declining enrollment, declining governmental support, and massive shifts in enrollment among academic disciplines, the authors conclude that academics are in an imperiled profession.
