How Nine Universities Pander to Campus Radicals
By Peter Wood April 24, 2019
In higher education, disgraceful scandals and major embarrassments once arrived one by one. Now, they appear in clusters, like epidemics we should have been expecting. Take the University of Tulsa, suddenly in the grip of a “strategic plan†aimed at marketing the university to students who are career-oriented and lured by the idea of fighting for social justice.
Towards that end, University president Gerard Clancy is demolishing the university’s signal intellectual strength—its liberal arts program. We know about this mainly because Jacob Howland, a philosophy professor at the University of Tulsa, has unleashed a 3,500-word cri de coeur, Storm Clouds Over Tulsa, in City Journal. It is well worth reading if you have any indignation left in your cellar over the fate of the humanities and the direction of our civilization.
