Dr. Vedder's Review of My Book

Dr. Richard Vedder, who is one of my idols in the field of higher education, has posted a nice review of my book on his blog. You can find his full review here, but here is some of what he had to say:

"Dr. Scheer uncovers virtually every scam and tactic used by colleges to maximize their income and minimize their obligations to their customers..."

"...an interesting little book, and is pretty well documented (over 800 footnotes)."

"Scheer believes colleges deceive their customers -- big time, and in dozens of different ways."

"...[Scheer] is right to call attention to the fact that colleges are not always the saintly institutions interested in student welfare that they would like to have you believe."

"...a lively, if somewhat inflammatory read..."

If you haven't picked up my book yet, you can find it by clicking here.

Much thanks to Dr. Vedder for reviewing my work. Check out his blog and his book, Going Broke by Degree: Why College Costs So Much.
