What's Liberal About the Liberal Arts: Classroom Politics and Bias in Higher Education Book

A compelling defense of liberalism on campus and off.At least since the publication of Allan Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind, higher education in the United States has been described as an institution in crisis, infected by liberal bias, hemmed in by political correctness, and undermined by an erosion of standards.
