The article discusses the intense challenges facing colleges and universities in America, focusing on government actions aimed at restricting academic freedom, particularly concerning race and gender issues. It highlights a growing trend of political interference, including banning critical race theory and imposing severe funding cuts. The author emphasizes a collective response from academic leaders advocating for constructive engagement, warning that the erosion of academic freedoms will negatively impact students and society at large. The discourse surrounding higher education has, according to the author, lost its way, increasingly painted as elitist indoctrination.
"The unprecedented government overreach and political interference now endangering institutions of higher learning... will be paid by our students and our society."
"Critics of higher education present the entire sector as an elitist, out-of-touch indoctrination factory for liberal orthodoxy, one that has replaced the great books of the past."
