I wrote for Salon: Higher Ed’s got 99 problems …
It started as a jokey, surly, listicle, then expanded into a pretty serious exercise and naming and providing a link to a broader discussion of issues that matter.
Hey op-ed writers! Did you know that anti-racist activism isn’t the only problem facing higher ed?
I know! It’s true. Here’s a list of 99 problems (with links) I put together for @Salon – https://t.co/tjldkKh2gt pic.twitter.com/V7ImrDRww7— David M. Perry (@Lollardfish) March 10, 2018
Over at Slate, Ben Mathis-Lilley put together a good list of all the NYT pieces on the “intolerant left” over the last few months. They just keep re-writing the same essay. And Jamelle Bouie, also at Slate, wrote a good piece on the real threats on campus. It’s like my listicle, but serious and important. And then at Vox, Matthew Ygelsias shows that college campuses are far more supportive of free speech than elsewhere.
