Alan Weiss's The Uncomfortable Truth®

Lowering Higher Education


Listen Later

•The American Council on Education reports that 33% of universities and colleges have female presidents.
• In the Ivy League it’s six of eight. Several for the first time ever.
• The three women in front of the congressional committee were clearly over their heads, ill prepared, stunned, and soon reversed some of their testimony.
• We’re focused on identity, not talent.
• Boards used to seek academic excellence and a track record of outstanding leadership.

• A letter writer on a university faculty claimed that students know which professors will involve them in political indoctrination before they register for the course. This is the worst kind of sophistry.

• Oh, and by the way, after the University of Pennsylvania president was forced to resign after her failure in Congress, over 500 Harvard faculty members signed a petition supporting their president. What does that tell you?
• It tell me she doesn’t have the spine to interfere with their provocation and indoctrination.
