New Library Topic: Liberal Bias: Campus, Classroom & Academia

We have added a new topic page exploring the liberal bias in academia pervading America's campuses. As Alan Charles Kors, Professor of History at the University of Pennsylvania and Foundation for Individual Rights in Education co-founder, laments "We now have closed-shop, massively subsidized, intolerant political fiefdoms, and they are the gatekeepers of society’s rewards. Without incentives for different models of higher education, we shall have this same system of colleges and universities as far as the mind can foresee. The tax-free mega-endowments will grow. The legislators and the public will not end the subsidy. The alumni will continue their bequests. The trustees will proudly attend the administrative dog-and-pony shows, the most efficient act on any campus. Well-intentioned donors will support ghettoized 'centers' (without faculty lines, cross-listed courses, graduate fellowships, or degrees) that marginalize inquiries that should be central to the academy. These provide protective coloration for administrators, help with fundraising in certain quarters, and permit a transfer of funds to the accelerating thirst for ever new forms of regnant campus orthodoxies. Until civil society makes administrators pay a price for the politicized hiring, curriculum, and student life offices they administer, nothing truly will be reformed."

Our expanding library offers a much-needed antidote to the lack of intellectual diversity in academia. Check it out and share it with your friends!
