Taxpayers, parents and donors need to save higher education from activists who claim to be scholars.
How did radical ideas like abolishing or defunding the police move from the fringes to official policy seemingly overnight in cities like Minneapolis, Los Angeles and New York? And after George Floyd’s killing by police touched off protests, why did so many prominent journalists and intellectuals rationalize looting and violence? For an answer, look to the nation’s politicized college campuses. Read Prof. Ellis’s new book: The Breakdown of Higher Education: How It Happened, the Damage It Does, and What Can Be Done.
