Moneyball in the Academy: Whiffing on the Quality of Education?

Paul N. Wilson

Applied Economics Teaching Resources (AETR), 2019, vol. 1, issue 01

Abstract: In recent years, corporate-like resource management tools have become commonplace on many university campuses with the goal of improving economic efficiency at the organizational level. Administrative initiatives that calculate faculty and department value with a limited number of metrics jeopardize the relational and hence the learning environment of higher education, particularly at the undergraduate level. Mutual faculty-student engagement remains a critical component of a quality education.
