In recent decades, America’s educational institutions have completely departed from their original mission and have finally reached a stage where the very concept of “higher education” is ambiguous and arbitrary.

For instance, consider the case of New College of Florida, which has just been censured by the American Association of University Professors for an alleged breach of governance. The school’s new board, of which I’m a member, is accused of making changes without meaningful faculty involvement, including replacing the president and eliminating gender studies as a major. In other words, we’re being censured by an association of educational professionals for removing the main obstacles to education at New College.
