In 2011, the first edition of Campus Confidential sparked a lively debate about what is really going on inside our colleges and universities. The media and readers alike welcomed this readable, honest book. University authorities didn't. They took the authors to task for spilling the beans. In this second edition, Ken S. Coates and Bill Morrison pick up where they left off, adding new and up-to-date information for students and their parents to consider.


Among the questions they address:



  • Why more students should consider the skilled trades

  • Whether a BA is ever worth the paper it's printed on

  • How roving administrators are undermining universities

  • Why we over-produce graduate students

  • What's right (and wrong) with what's happening on campuses in Quebec


Now that nearly everyone goes to college or university but only a small percentage of graduates actually find employment in their chosen field, understanding what's really going on in Canadian postsecondary institutions is more important than ever. Readers can count on Ken S. Coates and Bill Morrison for unexpected insights and lots of fresh new ideas and information.
