Those who warn of the dangers of professors making pronouncements outside their area of expertise may have been a bit too hasty. A case might be made for encouraging business professors to look at foreign policy. “It amazes me that Americans don’t see China as a threat,” Dr. Peter Navarro said at a briefing at […]

The song, “Mary, Did You Know” was not allowed to be sung by a Christiana capella group at the school’s tree-lighting ceremony.  

Good take from our friend George Leef: Under PSLF, students who find jobs that are officially regarded as doing “public service” can get their college debts erased after 10 years of such work.

Seeming to give proof to Orwell’s observation that some ideas are so stupid they could only have been thought of by intellectuals, yet another academic association—this time the National Women’s Studies Association (NWSA)—has followed the lead of the American Studies Association, the American Anthropological Association, the Asian Studies Association, and several others by ignobly voting […]

When Americans went around the table last Thursday to say what they were grateful for, ObamaCare probably wasn’t one of them.

Corey Robin, a professor of political science at Brooklyn College, concludes a recent piece in Salon by imagining how Princeton might distance itself from its former president, Woodrow Wilson.

Let the recap from GW Today do the talking, regarding British Council chief executive Sir Ciarán Devane’s remarks at George Washington University: Fully combatting ISIS, he said, must include efforts to connect with displaced Muslims and Arabs. Among other things, it disturbs the ability of ISIS to connect with them first. That’s a tactic that goes […]

George Washington may be turning in his grave to hear about this climate change alarmism. According to their e-mail newsletter, GW University President Steven Knapp had “attended a roundtable discussion” at the White House “as a part of an ongoing effort to address climate change on campus.” Both Knapp and GW’s director of the school’s […]

In an article published in the university’s e-mail newsletter, George Washington University lauded its annual event called the Interfaith Dinner (whose original name was not mentioned in the article). The dinner event, sponsored by both the Muslim Student Association and the Jewish Student Association, was launched by these two groups after the September 11th, 2001 […]

Why are the protesters clamoring for the college president’s resignation? Campus Reform has more: Oxy United for a Black Liberation denounced Veitch’s presidency saying, “he is incapable of dealing with any issues concerning the wellbeing of marginalized students” and has “failed to guide students in their journey to justice.”

Those who thought academia couldn’t get more trivial might do a face palm over the trend toward gaming in higher education. “Several courses in my department at the University of Michigan have been gamified,” Kentaro Toyama, an associate professor in the School of Information there, writes in The Chronicle of Higher Education. “Assignments are called […]
