Anotácia knihy

CAREER SCHOOL tells the story of a prestigious Philadelphia college selling its soul to make a profit. Its heroes include Oliver Dunbar, a kind-hearted school director and twenty-year advocate of education, now forced against his will to think like a businessman; Lily Espirito, a beautiful but ruthless admissions director who will let nothing stop her from making her enrollment goals; Louise, a cynical bursar; Ethel, the stalwart dean; and David, a financial aid director who would rather be painting. It's a story of academic integrity clashing with greed, scandal, sex, and human frailty, set at an institution of higher learning where students come from all economic spheres-from the wealthy Main Line suburbs to the city's worst housing projects-with the dream of getting a degree and a chance at a better life, and trusting that their college will always have their best interests at heart. Funny, passionate, and offering rare insight in the dynamics of running a small college, CAREER SCHOOL is one of the important social stories of our time.
