Description
Welcome to another thought-provoking edition of Scheer Intelligence. I'm your host, Robert Scheer, and today we delve into the heart of a critical issue facing our society: the erosion of academic freedom in higher education. Joining me is Brian Rosenberg, a noted educator and commentator whose recent article in the Chronicle of Higher Education warns that autocratic pressures are compromising the very institutions that promise to foster critical thought and innovation. As we navigate the complexities of modern governance and the chilling effects of fear on intellectual discourse, Rosenberg exposes how universities are grappling with their vulnerabilities amidst political upheaval. Together, we'll explore the implications of this capitulation and the urgent need for a robust defense of academic principles in a time when they are more threatened than ever. Stay tuned as we unpack the intricate relationship between power, education, and the future of democracy."
