Mary Soliday
September 2002
Mary Soliday is a professor of English at C.C.N.Y. and favors open admissions. She has delivered herself of a 220-page book that provides what might be termed a "progressive" view of remediation in higher education, namely that it's part of a selfish plot by colleges to meet their own needs for money, students, challenges to their admissions standards, etc. and is not, in her opinion, something done on behalf of students' needs. Besides being tendentious, the book is full of literary and pedagogical jargon. You probably want no part of it but, if you do, the ISBN is 0822941864, the University of Pittsburgh Press is culpable, and more information can be had at http://www.pitt.edu/~press/2002/Soliday.html.
