Charlie Sykes: The False Promise of High Education [AUDIO]

His new book, Fail U, is a great read, featuring chapters exploring the staggering costs of a college education, the sharp decline in tenured faculty and teaching loads, and the hysteria surrounding “triggers,” “micro-aggressions,” and other forms of alleged trauma. We also spent some time near… Continue reading
