God And Man At Dupont University
I don't think this counts, except perhaps extremely tangentially, as an example of the Adversarial Campus in action, but still, this doesn't sound like higher education's finest hour:
In 2000, when Mr. Potter was just three years old, Harold Bloom predicted that “[t]he cultural critics will, soon enough, introduce Harry Potter into their college curriculum.” And it came to pass at Stanford University just a few months ago.
Nothing like spending $33,000 or so a year to send your kid to Stanford so that he can study “
present-tense culture", no matter how enjoyable the experience may be.
