Description Or: the lowest form of higher education. A satirical blast at education and the business philosophy of the new right. Revised to reflect recent changes in higher education, to sharpen its satirical intention and effect, and the pretension and commercialism of modern degree-granting institutions are viciously, satisfyingly and continuously lampooned.
