The changing politics of the Right place it on a collision course with higher education. These political forces support a policy agenda of deinstitutionalization, in which Republican officials both slash funding for and undermine trust in public higher education. Campus leaders respond with partial defenses that provide short-term relief without addressing underlying mistrust.
Wrecked traces the disastrous collision between the Right and higher education resulting from these politics, policies and practices.
