"No one has been more important to the cause of academic freedom in America than David Horowitz. Reclaiming Our Universities is not only a must read for those concerned about left-wing bias on campus; it is the story of how a small group of determined people, armed with the truth, can stand up to powerful, entrenched interests and make a difference." - Newt Gingrich. "Reforming our universities is the story of one man's efforts to restore educational principles to academic classrooms, and why he failed. It exposes the voices inside the educational establishment who are opposed to change and indifferent to principle, and explains why liberal arts colleges are becoming indoctrination centers for partisan interests and political sects. An indispensible book." - Candace De Russy, former trustee, State University of New York. "David Horowitz is a national treasure. In his courage, passion, and perseverance he has done more than anyone to expose the rottenness - moral and political as well as intellectual - that has infected the heart of American higher education. In this explosive new book, he adds treatment to diagnosis, providing concrete, workable strategies to achieve what many of us had given up as hopeless: reclaiming the university. This book is essential reading for anyone concernedd about the future of American culture." - Roger Kimball, author of Tenured Radicals: How Politics Has Corrupted Our Higher Education. "A Modest Proposal To Fight Liberal Intolerance On College Campuses: An Academic Bill Of Rights. For far too long our colleges and universities have been allowed to ignore their chartered responsibilities to educate rather than indoctrinate. Instead of providing a forum for the free exchange of ideas, they intimidate students into ideological submission to leftist professors; rather than pursuing meaningful research, they proselytize for radical causes. In this important new book, New York Times bestselling author David Horowitz tells the dramatic story of his ongoing campaign for an Academic Bill of Rights to protect students who want to think for themselves and refuse to conform to radical orthodoxies. As Horowitz shows, despite his pleas for tolerance of diverging points of view, his modest proposal that universities should respect intellectual diversity has been greeted with hateful hysteria, protests, and even violence - exposing, in the process, how thoroughly rotten, corrupt, and radical higher education has truly become. Horowitz means to recall higher education to its better self, to become - as it once was - a place where students and teachers were not afraid to question opinions, create their own, and engage in Socratic dialogue. Horowitz remembers when the university was exactly that, and he acknowledges his own part in helping to tear it down. And now he wants to undo the damage and make our colleges and universities once again centers of learning and free discussion. Reforming Our Universities just might be David Horowitz's most important book." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
