The liberal arts, writes Richard Corcoran in Storming the Ivory Tower, his account of reform and revolution as president of the New College of Florida, “are helpful in equipping humans for self-government, personally and politically.” Following the Left’s long march through the institutions, what we have in place of genuine institutions of higher education are centers of indoctrination devoted to delegitimizing the family and the American “settler state”; devaluing Western civilization’s religious, scientific, intellectual, and artistic achievements; disparaging individual creativity and initiative in favor of racial essentialism; and replacing leaders with bureaucrats whose principal and often sole mission is achieving racial quotas in hiring and promotion. These quotas are what the bureaucrats call “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” but as Corcoran shows, in practice DEI means political conformity, inequitable treatment of individuals, and exclusion of thoughtful dissenting views. What’s more, the DEI bureaucrats are ineffective—and remarkably uncurious about their own ineffectiveness—in educating students from the supposedly underprivileged groups for whom they profess to deliver more equitable outcomes.
