The article discusses the politicization of higher education in the United States, focusing on allegations of a liberal bias within universities and colleges. The author is critical of a National Association of Scholars (NAS) report on partisan influences on faculty appointment and curriculum design at the University of California and discusses student reports of bias in the classroom. Other topics include the performance and attitudes of both conservative and liberal undergraduate students, the importance of teaching argumentation, and civics education at universities and colleges.
