The rot in academia is closely tied to the rise of the public-private partnership and exclusive licensing of taxpayer-funded research to private interests - and of course, they've been indoctrinating their students and staff on this issue, because Lord forbid anyone starts demanding that university research results belong to the taxpayers who financed them, let alone any notions about 'open-source drug discovery'. E.g.

Corporate Lysenkoism is the norm in American academic institutions these days, that's what all the students are being indoctrinated into - whatever hysteria is circulating around the social science-related culture war nonsense is jut a distraction, a misdirection away from the real core problems in American academia today.
