Campus Confidential
Ken S. Coates and Bill Morrison have been sparking lively debate about post-secondary education since the publication of the first edition of this readable, honest book in 2011.
Taking universities to task for spreading myths like the million-dollar promise for graduates and revealing the best-kept secrets, Coates and Morrison are arming students to make informed decisions about their future schooling and career path. The Globe and Mail has labelled it "a bracing reality check that should be essential reading for would-be university students, their parents and anyone who thinks higher education holds all the answers."
Now that nearly everyone goes to college or university but only a small percentage actually find employment in their chosen field, understanding what's really going on is more
important than ever. This completely updated and revised edition answers key questions for potential students (Is a
BA worth the paper it's printed on?) and reflects on growing debates about Quebec students, graduate unemployment, and appropriate student choices for post-secondary education.
Readers can count on university insiders Coates and Morrison for fresh, unexpected insights. KEN S. COATES is Canada Research Chair in Regional Innovation at the Johnson-Shoyama
Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Saskatchewan. Formerly, he was Dean, Faculty of Arts at the University of Waterloo. He lives in Saskatoon.
BILL MORRISON was a professor and administrator at universities in Ontario, Manitoba, and British Columbia and a visiting professor in the United States before he retired in 2010. He
lives in Ladysmith, BC.
