From Literary Review of Canada, a review of Ivory Tower Blues: A University System in Crisis by James Cote and Anton Allahar; and Multiversities, Ideas and Democracy by George Fallis. Beached: An article on Norman Finkelstein and the Coney Island exile of a scholar who would be Noam Chomsky, but isn’t. University of PC: As a Republican in academia, Robert Maranto is on the fringe. More on Until Proven Innocent by Stuart Taylor and KC Johnson. More on God's Harvard: A Christian College on a Mission to Save America by Hanna Rosin. Harvard for Free: Higher education is about to change as elite universities decide what to do with their huge endowments. Vast new fortunes and rising inequality and tuition fees have put elite American colleges at risk of turning back into the class-based institutions they were 100 years ago. Better begging: When wealthy universities ask for money, why do we say yes? The race is not always to the richest: Money and effort aren't enough to impart the skills and knowledge needed in a cut-throat world.
