The cost of a college degree has increased by 1,125% since 1978—four times the rate of inflation. Total student debt has surpassed $1.3 trillion. Nearly two thirds of all college students must borrow to study, and the average student graduates with more than $30,000 in debt. Many college graduates under twenty-five years old are unemployed or underemployed. And professors—remember them?—rarely teach undergraduates at many major universities, instead handing off their lecture halls to cheaper teaching assistants. So, is it worth it? That’s the question Charles J. Sykes attempts to answer in Fail U., exploring the staggering costs of a college education, the sharp decline in tenured faculty and teaching loads, the explosion of administrative jobs, the grandiose building plans, and the utter lack of preparedness for the real world that many now graduates face. Fail U. offers a different vision of higher education; one that is affordable, more productive, and better-suited to meet the needs of a diverse range of students—and one that will actually be useful in their future careers and lives.

The American higher education system is broken. Colleges and universities are shifting far from their roots as centers for academic scholarship into pools of adult infants who barely mature and are provoked by the slightest non-conforming opinions. Their inefficiency is setting students up to fail, wasting students' time and providing little in return. These institutions are now the hub for propagating modern indentured servitude by bestowing the youth thousands of dollars in unscrupulous student loan debt. Instead of an atmosphere of intellectual curiosity, the campus culture is saturated with promiscuity, binge drinking, and partying. Increasingly common, college students experience depression, anxiety, and physical abasement as a result of this environment. A majority of incoming freshmen are now going to college to prolong adolescence rather than to progress upright into adulthood. American higher education is a crumbling spectacle where the level of education, the value of the degree, and the overall prestige are quickly deteriorating. Arguably, the university system is now doing more harm than good. Those who enter the supposed golden gates of higher education are not getting the positive return on investment of past generations. Why has the higher education system changed so little in such a time of major transformation in the access to information through the internet? How can it cost so much more and take just as long to complete a standard bachelor's degree? What are the main failures plaguing colleges and universities? And, what is the future for coming generations for those aspiring to gain an education? This book sets out to find answers to the aforementioned questions. William Pacwa graduated from a four-year university in only two years at the age of 19 during the spring of 2020. Throughout this time in university, he witnessed structural flaws in the American higher education system. The goal of his book is to clearly articulate those problems and give concise solutions to rectify the inadequacies for the betterment of future generations. And, for those who still want or are required to attend university, he uncovers the factors that allow students to complete their degree with speed and efficiency, saving incoming students time and money.

An NPR Favorite Book of the Year Winner of the Critics’ Choice Book Award, American Educational Studies Association Winner of the Mirra Komarovsky Book Award Winner of the CEP–Mildred García Award for Exemplary Scholarship “Eye-opening...Brings home the pain and reality of on-campus poverty and puts the blame squarely on elite institutions.” —Washington Post “Jack’s investigation redirects attention from the matter of access to the matter of inclusion...His book challenges universities to support the diversity they indulge in advertising.” —New Yorker “The lesson is plain—simply admitting low-income students is just the start of a university’s obligations. Once they’re on campus, colleges must show them that they are full-fledged citizen.” —David Kirp, American Prospect “This book should be studied closely by anyone interested in improving diversity and inclusion in higher education and provides a moving call to action for us all.” —Raj Chetty, Harvard University The Ivy League looks different than it used to. College presidents and deans of admission have opened their doors—and their coffers—to support a more diverse student body. But is it enough just to admit these students? In this bracing exposé, Anthony Jack shows that many students’ struggles continue long after they’ve settled in their dorms. Admission, they quickly learn, is not the same as acceptance. This powerfully argued book documents how university policies and campus culture can exacerbate preexisting inequalities and reveals why some students are harder hit than others.

The "corporatization" of colleges and universities has steered the attention of institutions to the "bottom line" rather than education of students. With the administration's priorities trained on the generation of money (through grants and contracts, patents, eminent publications or works of art, awards, patient care, student tuition or fundraising) what happens to the education of teachers, doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers and our future leaders?What can be done to return an institution to its primary mission that is, educating the next generation and in the process, creating new knowledge?Colleges and universities are beginning to lose their way and a wakeup call is clearly necessary. FAILED GRADE: The Corporatization and Decline of Higher Education in America, is that wakeup call.
