College curriculums that were once centered on instruction in the classics of Western civilization have become smorgasbords where almost anything qualifies as a course in the liberal arts and where political conformity is enforced by professors. Stanford University, caving in to demands from the Black Student Union ("We don't want to read any more dead white guys"), removed Homer, Dante, Luther, Darwin, and Freud from its course on Western civilization. At Dartmouth, a professor of women's studies describes the goal of her program as, simply, "the reconstruction of reality."
Sykes calls the abandonment of the great books a "startling triumph for unreason" and shows how American higher education is turning out hollow men and women--apathetic, ignorant, and empty of the civilizational patrimony that should be theirs.

Taking us through the trials and tribulations of Dartmouth as it navigated multiple presidents and the unrest of the 1950's to the 1980's, Sykes provides a biased, yet thought provoking look at the challenges of social elements and teaching on the college campus. Decrying the lack of free speech, academic freedom and political correctness, Sykes attempts, somewhat convincingly, to convey the college campus as having corrupted its mission of providing an environment for exploration, learning, debate and open dialogue. While I found the book to be a bit wide of the mark based on my campus exposure, it is an interesting (and pointed) perspective worth considering.Product details
