Students should think about their professors more.
That advice is not meant to be arrogant or self-aggrandizing. But Professor Jacques Berlinerblau believes it’s helpful in understanding how to pick a good college – and gain a better understanding about the current state of higher education.
Berlinerblau, an author and professor at Georgetown University’s Center for Jewish Civilization, recently spoke with The College Fix over the phone about his new book, As Professors Lay Dying: Selecting a College Amidst an Educational Crisis.
Berlinerblau, who said he’s “neither right nor left” politically, emphasized that the problems with higher education are complex and multifaceted. It’s not just professors, not just administrators, students, or politics.
Geared toward students and parents, the book is meant to be an entertaining, humorous, and thoughtful exploration of the current state of higher education, focused on professors.
