Devine, Philip E.; Hauptman, Robert – Journal of Educational Public Relations, 1987
Presents an "expose" of academic jargon that often confuses educators and other readers. The terms are humorously defined to reveal the money and status struggles that protect academics from "unhealthy preoccupation" with teaching and scholarship. (CJH)
