    Trump's Rise, Elites' Fall, Rot At The Top In Higher Ed

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Friday, February 10, 2017

    President Donald Trump’s controversial executive order prohibiting nationals from seven countries roiled by jihadism from entering the United States for three months—and the administration’s bungled roll-out of the order—reminded foreign policy elites in both parties why they feared and loathed Trump.

    A Do-It-Yourself Liberal Education

    Research | Articles
    Tuesday, September 19, 2017

    In the name of social justice and diversity, students at elite colleges are casting aside the very works that probe those topics so deeply. The central authors of the Western tradition—from Plato and Aristotle to Mill and Orwell—are no longer part of the required curriculum in the social sciences and the humanities. Their absence carries a high price.

    Research | Articles | by Peter Berkowitz
    Sunday, November 25, 2018

    Donald Trump’s presidency has provoked an outpouring of anguished commentary about the norms — that is, customary behavior and moral standards — that underlie liberal democracy in America. The president has certainly disrupted settled patterns of campaigning, politics, and governance.

    Sunday, May 30, 2021

    Tuesday, June 24, 2014

    For several decades, the number of students attending college in the United States has been growing rapidly: Over the last 20 years or so, enrollments have risen by about 50 percent, and over the last 50 years they have more than quadrupled. During this time, especially the last two decades, the polarization of our politics has markedly intensified.
