Money, Politics, and Corruption in U.S. Higher Education: The Stories of Whistleblowers

(Second edition) From Louis Clark’s Introduction to Money, Politics, and Corruption in U.S. Higher Education: Author Dan Moldea focuses on three whistleblowers: Dr. Jon Oberg, Rod Lipscomb, and Dr. Jim Keen, as well as attorney David Halperin, a well-known and respected advocate of whistleblowers. Moldea traces the origins of the complex scandals that these whistleblowers exposed, identifies the allies and enemies they attracted, and illuminates the retaliation they have courageously endured. From these case studies, a powerful narrative emerges: Moldea shows his readers what happens when good people decide not to remain silent when confronted with rampant corruption in higher education.
