The Transformation of University Culture

This chapter explores the historical insulation of universities as centers of free thought and the recent ideological shifts that have altered this landscape. It examines the rise of political homogeneity, the bloating of administrative roles, and a culture of self-censorship, leading to a climate of fear surrounding dissenting opinions. Additionally, it critiques the educational system's failure to impart historical lessons about totalitarianism and the impact of emerging movements on both academia and broader society.
