In the Shadow of the Ivory Tower: How Universities Are Plundering Our Cities by Davarian L. Baldwin
5.0
This is a spectacular investigation of his American universities encroach upon urban communities in the name of development. It's especially appalling when you understand that these institutions carry the non-profit status that makes them avoid paying taxes. Baldwin does a brilliant job exposing institutions like Trinity College, NYU, Columbia University, the University of Chicago, and the University of Arizona. What's especially good about this book is the epilogue which offers models of how to do things differently, the most promising of which is the University of Winnipeg.
