Synopsis

In this searing indictment, Dr. Nolan Higdon uses deep research and personal narrative to reveal how forty years of corporatism hollowed out higher education. Transcending partisan talking points, Higdon delivers a dramatic takedown of both Republicans and Democrats, arguing that neoliberal institutions-where "student success" replaced actual learning and social justice rhetoric shielded managerial control-provided the infrastructure for the MAGAcademy. As a state-sanctioned model, the MAGAcademy lets markets, not scholars, dictate what is considered valuable knowledge. It weaponizes federal funding to enforce a conservative agenda, replacing critical inquiry with patriotic education and surveillance. Featuring a Foreword by Henry Giroux, Higdon offers a radical roadmap to reclaim the "Civic University" and save the American mind from corporate capture.
