An invigorating work that identifies obstructions to transformative change in higher education and offers paths to break through.
In “Whatever It Is, I’m Against It,” president emeritus of Macalester College Brian Rosenberg draws on decades of higher education experience to expose the entrenched structures, practices, and cultures that inhibit meaningful postsecondary reform, even as institutions face serious challenges to their financial and educational models. A lively insider’s account, the book pinpoints factors that hinder the ability of U.S. colleges and universities to be creative and entrepreneurial amid calls to improve affordability, access, and equity for students.
Through pithy personal stories of divisive town hall meetings, multiyear college governance battles, and attempts at curricular reform, Rosenberg illustrates internal and external dynamics that impede institutional evolution. Pressures such as declining enrollment, escalating costs, and an oversupply of PhDs in academia have long signaled a grave need for reform within a profession that, as Rosenberg ruefully acknowledges, lacks organizational flexibility, depends greatly on reputation and ranking, and retains traditions, from the academic calendar to grading systems, that have remained essentially the same for decades.
Rosenberg looks outside the U.S. system to find possible antidotes in innovative higher education models such as student-centered and experiential learning approaches. This thought-provoking work offers ample evidence for presidents, chancellors, deans, provosts, and faculty to consider as they plan their missions to achieve institutional transformation.

Just teach the basics and remove all the woke, joke garbage that doesn’t prepare “students” for real life, or real jobs.
Lesbian Dance Theory, Gender, Black and Ethnic Studies are a waste of the students time, and the parents money.
While most advanced nations concentrate on Math, Real Science, Business, Classic Literature and Critical Thinking courses, American colleges and Universities are worried about which restroom to use, or which pronouns are important.
Stop with this useless nonsense or suffer the outcome of an unprepared population of graduates who’s only option is to work at MacDonald’s or Arby’s.
Harvard (Whore-Vard) Columbia, Yale and other “ivy league” schools are becoming political battlefields, not institutions of higher learning. They are riding on past reputations and are in serious danger of becoming inconsequential and irrelevant as VHS video tape systems.

Harvard is the symptom not the cause. The problem are those in charge of the money at these institutions. They are under the sway of the CCP and globalist goons. They promote this to destroy american culture, induce strife, and steal our research because our values stand in the way of their greed and power. They hate that we demand a good standard of living and refuse to be serfs like the Chinese. Carney, Starmer and those in the EU and deep state are the Hench men of those with money and influence.

The above commenters really prove the value of higher education, and the glaring stupidity of its absence.
