Описание: Beyond A Crisis makes the case for drastic reform of a higher education now hopelessly corrupted by radical politics. This book takes the various aspects of the dysfunction one by one: How and why is political motivation always destructive of higher learning? What is now the essential core of the problem on the campuses, and how extensive is it? How much remains uncorrupted, and for how long is that likely to last? How was the deliberate campaign to politically cleanse the campuses of opposing voices able to succeed, and how was it able to circumvent countless laws and institutional regulations designed to keep the campuses free from political influence, when it was always widely known that political motivation would destroy them? What is the value of a typical higher education now, and how has it deteriorated over the last fifty years? Why are campuses once seen as a source of wisdom so frequently the scene of extraordinary foolishness?

Beyond a Crisis surveys many kinds of serious damage that the universities are now doing to our society: to elementary and high school education, to race relations and minority advancement, to the preparation of students for the workplace, and to the political and social fabric of the nation. Ellis argues that the commonly suggested remedies (new free speech rules, or enforced right of center appointments) will all fail because they leave untouched the central core of the problem: the controlling faculty majority of political radicals who have no real interest in higher learning nor any aptitude for it. The problem of heavily corrupted higher education will persist until our society takes a hard look at what is being done with the vast sums it pays for higher education, and decides that this fraud and abuse of public money to promote a political agenda must be stopped.
