Miller doesn't actually look for information in libraries but poses transparently provocative questions so the rest of us will steer him to the right books, saving him the effort. So I think he should start with Howard Singerman's Art Subjects: Making Artists in the American University; 1999. In addition to his informative text, Singerman's bibliography lists hundreds of other sources. After ten years of reading that bibliography, Miller might want to look at James Elkin's books, and, again, bibliography. Miller could easily spend the rest of his life following the text trail of books and articles dealing with whatever topic he chooses under the general heading of examining the nature of university curricula.
