As a long-time news analyst, I find it refreshing that at least some professors are taking the rise of conservative journalism seriously and treating it as a subject to be studied. In a “Call for Book Chapters on Conservative News,” professors Anthony M. Nadler and A.J. Bauer are calling on academics and others to contribute […]

The deputy chancellor and professor of psychological and brain sciences at University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Robert Feldman, did not leave much to the imagination of what the root problem of higher education is today: poor and “dismal” graduation rates. He began his op-ed at Inside Higher Ed and spoke of the new trend of having “open […]

Journalists are not exactly neutral with the Trump administration, but it is a two-way street. Communications@Syracuse recently asked several D.C.-based journalists, editors and producers on their thoughts on the Trump administration’s relationship with the press. Much of the feedback alleged that the Trump administration has been disorganized and has declared a war on the media. Others […]

Academics are upset that they don’t get as many chances as they would like to contribute to U. S. foreign policy. Maybe that’s a good thing. On the one hand, most of them opposed the Iraq War, at least after the fact, Benjamin H. Friedman and Justin Logan show in an essay which appeared in […]

Apparently, the notion of consequences escaped these Millennial college students at Swarthmore: Last month, members of the anti-fossil fuel group Mountain Justice occupied Chief Investment Officer Mark C. Amstutz’s office to denounce the school’s investments in fossil fuels. This past week, five of the group were cited for their (alleged) refusal to vacate the premises. According to Philly.com, the […]

A great piece from Townhall’s Kurt Schlichter on why conservatives must be wary of conservative Millennials and youths in today’s social media-crazed world: Remember 13-year old Jonathan Krohn, who wowed the 2009 CPAC with a collection of clichés that would have been utterly unremarkable had it come from someone not wearing Superman Underoos? Someone even published […]

The way that leading figures on the political Left cling to disputed data is truly a marvel to behold. In an appearance on Monday, March 20, 2017, at the Center for American Progress (CAP), Valerie Jarrett, senior advisor to former President Obama, repeated the one-in-five college rape statistic at least three times, even regretting that […]

If there is an indefensible position on property rights, count on an academic to take it. On March 20 the Supreme Court began to hear oral arguments in Murr v. Wisconsin, a property rights case it agreed to take up in January 2016. The Cato Institute previewed the case on St. Patrick’s Day. “Joseph Murr […]

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan did not mince words when he discussed how he felt about the Rockville, Maryland rape case where a 14-year-old girl was raped by two classmates, one of whom is confirmed to be an illegal alien (i.e. illegal immigrant). The county school system in question, Montgomery County Public Schools, had issued a […]

The United States is entangled in expensive, and ultimately, useless and inefficient United Nations climate change treaties, wrote author Donn Dears. Dears, a former General Electric (GE) executive, wrote a book which is being promoted by the Heartland Institute entitled, “Clexit: For a Brighter Future; The Case for Withdrawing from United Nations’ Climate Treaties.” In […]

Lisa D. Cook, a Michigan State economist who served on President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisors (CEA), took sharp aim at her old boss’s successor in an appearance at the Center for American Progress (CAP) on March 15, 2017. “I was waiting to see what they did when the first jobs report came out,” she […]

A great take from Reason on the flawed reasoning of the Obama Department of Education’s Title IX sexual assault policies, which call into question the following of due process, the rule of law and the oft-held mantra in criminal justice, “innocent before proven guilty.” In his Commentaries on the Laws of England, William Blackstone declared, “It is better […]
