"Dr. Barbara Sizemore was involved in the struggle for academic and cultural excellence, successfully, for many decades. Few educators can match her record of excellence in teaching, research, theory building, institution building, and political activism. Barbara's contributions to education, and to African liberation, are nothing short of colossal. She was a superior educational leader whose mere presence invoked awe and respect." --Asa G. Hilliard III, educator and autor of The Reawakening of the African Mind

"Wannabe U is an exceptional portrait of a state university that desperately wants to play in the big leagues. Tuchman illuminates how universities have not just borrowed tools from the business world but redefined them in ways that have had a far-reaching and pernicious influence on higher education. She deftly captures the careerist ambitions of administrators and the discomfort that these transformations can cause between older faculty and newer arrivals. In the midst of these changes and conflicts, Tuchman also notes how much the day-to-day experience of faculty and students is affected. No other book is as revealing about the revolution under way in American higher education as this one." -- Walter W. Powell, Stanford University
