Watershed is a tale of intrigue, greed and revenge set against the looming water shortage in the American Southwest. The story is international in scope, framed against events foreshadowing a potentially vast drought catastrophe. Watershed makes it clear how easily such a calamity could happen. Watershed draws the reader into a furious, shadowy duel between a dedicated group of private citizens and a cunning, vengeful, international mogul. A hydrology engineer is killed in an airplane crash. Officially an accident. Unofficially, murder. Matt MacLeod, a friend of the victim, is summoned to assist in a secret investigation of his murder. He uncovers a sinister scheme set in motion by a ruthless international industrialist to hold the continent's water resources to ransom and trigger a perilous clash between the US and Canada.

This book suggests that the umbrella academic organizations step forward and draft a model code of ethics for the profession of higher education. Further discussion reveals how such attempts become difficult in face of the market's relentless pressure to frame the institution-student relationship in the economic terms of provider and customer. The book also offers an analysis of academic tradition, academic freedom, and the principles of professional conduct and shared governance. Typical problems in academic life are presented, each followed by questions designed to stimulate seminar-type discussion. Appendices contain a proposed code of ethics as well as AAUP statements on the subject.
