Academic Buzzwords--An Expose of Higher Education Jargon.

Devine, Philip E.; Hauptman, Robert

Journal of Educational Public Relations, v10 n1 p20-24 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)
