Padgett, Ryan D.; Goodman, Kathleen M.; Johnson, Megan P.; Saichaie, Kem; Umbach, Paul D.; Pascarella, Ernest T. – New Directions for Institutional Research, 2010

Nemtsova, Anna – Chronicle of Higher Education, 2008
From the top down, says the writer, Russia's universities are impoverished by bribery and insider deals large and small.

Presidents use…
