PC culture has been in the headlines a lot recently, so instead of addressing the progressive thought police, I was hoping that the author might say something about the other ways in which the universities are eating themselves alive. What of the transition from full-time tenured faculty to adjuncts with little income, less job security, and who are terrified of students' reviews? Should universities continue to shift away from employing instructors and researchers, and towards supporting increasingly byzantine hierarchies of administrators? What of the publish-or-perish imperative that emphasizes quantity over quality, and shiny new results over testing results obtained elsewhere? What of dramatic inflation in tuition costs and resulting student debt? It seems to me that these factors are all slowly undoing the universities. It'd be really interesting to hear a high-ranking administrator discuss these issues seriously instead of carefully confessing his preference for free speech over highly charged identity politics (which is a totally safe and uncontroversial thing to do).
