Poison Ivy: A Social Psychological Typology of Deviant Professors and Administrators in American Higher Education

“This thoroughly researched comprehensive work is a must read for everyone engaged in higher education—lest they be researchers, teachers, practitioners, staff, or administrators.” —CLIFTON D. BRYANT, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, Virginia Polytechnic

This book challenges the popular stereotype of deviance; that is, it does not deal with violators of social etiquette or nuts, sluts, and perverts, but rather with a classification of highly educated, respectable, middle class college and university professors and administrators.
