The Fall of Faculty is a book written by Benjamin Ginsberg (political scientist). Benjamin Ginsberg argues in the book that faculty are not the primary problem with contemporary academia. Instead he provides evidence that the primary problem lies in the explosive growth in administration in U.S. universities and the concomitant decline in faculty power in influence. Faculty decline occurs in time with another trend: the growing regimentation and corporatization of the university. Ginsberg shows the results on campuses are negative.
