This essential, hard-hitting collection edited by Robert Maranto, Richard E. Redding, and Frederick M. Hess exposes how the modern pursuit of diversity has bred ideological uniformity across higher education, tackling political correctness, faculty bias, free speech, and academic freedom with rigorous data and unflinching argument, a must-read for anyone concerned about the hyperpoliticization of the American university.

The Politically Correct University shows how the universities' quest for 'diversity' has produced in too many departments a stifling uniformity of thought. Required reading for those who want American universities to eschew political correctness
