This week's episode is a follow up with the authors of an article covered in a previous Dissidents podcast (S4, E15) about grade inflation and university faculty ideology. Mark Horowitz and Anthony Haynor generously offered to share their insights, clarifications, and elaborations based on years of research on this topic. We discuss historical trends toward left wing ideology and the impact on research, censorship, and the quality of education. Mark and Anthony call for the best and brightest to focus their energies on ensuring higher education retains its core purpose and values.
