Bump for later ping.

I know a great many of these people, and it's safe to say that, outside the hard sciences, the more prestigious an Ivy League University used to be, the more dismal it is now.

These people have sucked up the whole 60s counterrevolution. Either they actually believe it, or they are absolutely terrified to get out of lockstep with their fellow leftists in the academy. All it takes is one whiff of doubt that they are less than radical on all the issues, and they are thrown out of their cozy little club.

With a very few exceptions, such as Glendon at Harvard and George at Princeton, there are no real humanities or social science professors left at any of the Ivy League Colleges, except for a few in their 60s who are still hanging on. English, Comp Lit, History, Philosophy, French, Spanish, Psychology, Anthropology, Sociology, you name it. They have all gone down the tubes. Your son or daughter can actually learn more staying home and reading good books than attending any of these decaying, brain-washing institutions.

Unfortunately, that goes increasingly for the smaller liberal arts colleges and state universities as well.

Unfortunately you need a college degree to get a job, and people are still impressed if you say you have an Ivy degree. Otherwise, there's hardly much point the way things are now. And it's only getting worse.

yet their thinking is out of step with the attitudes, values, viewpoints and expectations of mainstream American thought.

Which may be okay. One of the views on higher education in a democracy is that it fosters a place where the attitudes, values, and viewpoints of mainstream American thought can be critiqued.
