Endorsements of Freefall of the American University:
“A comprehensive and properly alarming picture
of the state of the contemporary university.”
— Academic Questions,
Journal of the National
Association of Scholars
"A wide ranging and devastating indictment
of American higher education. The inescapable conclusion is that the
American university is hollow, and worse than hollow, dangerous to the
students who arrive seeking knowledge."
— Hugh Hewitt, bestselling
author, radio
host, and law professor
"Freefall of the American University
is a reasoned, articulate, and provocative look at the radicalization of
our campuses and the perversion of basic educational goals in today's
university system. Freefall deserves a place on the bookshelf of
every concerned American: student, parent, or taxpayer. This is our
higher education system, and it's time to take it back."
— Ben Shapiro, syndicated
columnist and author
"A worthy contribution to the growing
literature documenting the devastation wreaked on our schools by
leftwing professors and educators."
— David Horowitz,
president,
Center for the Study of
Popular Culture
