Again, who are you to determine what he chooses to write about? Your entire framing of what is going on is simply off-base, so the point you attempt to make about Devereaux's competence is beside the point. He is choosing to write about the American academic industry, incidentally speaking far more about the humanities than about other fields. The title of the article simplifies that, as all article titles do. That's just how titles work. He has researched his subject fairly extensively, as far as I can tell. If you want an article about non-American academy, perhaps including STEM fields, write the damn article yourself.
