From McSweeney's. Samples:

The Philosophy department is now hiring an assistant professor who can tolerate the toxic environment of our department. Special consideration given to candidates who will take Dr. Warren’s side in her 30-year-old dispute with Dr. Wyatt, that Foucauldian asshole. . . .

Stanley Kurtz has some good suggestions.

Also see "Can Higher Education Be Saved? The Hope for Governance Reform".

"A warning from Walker Percy: well-intentioned but ill-considered solutions will do more harm than good."

I had forgotten some of the scares that turned out not to be scary. This piece helped refresh my memory.

Economist Glenn Loury has makes some important comments about our current bitter dispute.
