Higher Education After October 7: Drain The Swamp

In the immediate aftermath of the attacks of October 7, and now again during the spring, coordinated protests have spread through colleges and universities. The rapidity with which normal functioning was disrupted and the initial helplessness of administrators both point to fundamental weaknesses in higher education: I doubt that there can be a return to a pre-October 7 normalcy.

The Substructures Of Chinese Grand Strategy, And Why Resolute US International Engagement Matters

In this essay, Dr. Ford offers an account of China’s dream of Sinocentric global order and its implications. Explaining the theory of control upon which the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) bases its power and influence, it describes the motivational structure behind Beijing’s grand strategy; the CCP’s strategic vision; how China aims to achieve that vision; and why sovereign peoples who prize their political autonomy and independence should care about these issues.

Bad Grades Good Idea

YOU DECIDE: Which is doing a better job of public education, Arizona or Kentucky? Similar numbers of children attend school in the two states. About a quarter of them live in single-parent families. Arizona has more minority youngsters, but Kentucky has more below the poverty line. On the National Assessment of Educational Progress in 1992 and 1994, the two states had nearly identical (low) scores.

“If there's no trouble with the Democratic National Convention, if nothing flares up in the fall, this will all be forgotten,” predicted Morris Fiorina, a professor at Stanford University. “On the other hand, if in fact, there is a major, major disruption at the Democratic Convention, if the campus problems fire up in the fall, then it's bad news for the Democrats.”
