Retrenchment in the 1980s: The Politics of Prestige and Gender.

Slaughter, Sheila

Journal of Higher Education, v64 n3 p250-82 May-Jun 1993

Review of American Association of University Professors cases (n=17) concerning college employment practices and policies during retrenchment draws a parallel between patterns of resource reallocation in higher education and redistribution of wealth and power in the larger society. Retrenchment is seen as a socially constructed not a market-related phenomenon. (MSE)
