Performance-Based Funding in Higher Education examines the touted aims of higher education policies over the past thirty years. The focus on job creation and increased graduation rates has distracted educators, students, and surrounding communities from an educator’s traditional and valued role as the promoter of democracy and critical citizenship. Letizia contends that institutions of higher education must redirect and promote their policies so that this aim is achieved and acknowledged. Recommended for scholars of education, sociology, political science, and philosophy.

A solid read of neoliberalism/neoconservatism and a bold new voice in critical theory, Angelo Letizia’s critical and postmodern fused analyses expose the oft barbaric uses of (T)ruth by so called positivists. His analyses examine the supposed signs of progress—neoliberal style quasi enlightenment—while asserting a stranglehold on educational policy. Tracing the line from signifier to signified, Angelo presents a new vision to establish a democratic society. Ignoring the fluidity of human experience, policy makers doom the future to a never-ending cycle of market adjustment as human beings are traded on the alter of reproduction.
