Gross, Neil

This study belongs in social behavioral sciences collections. Ideal for scholars and general readers interested in this current, relevant, and much debated topic. Readers may want to pair this title with Jill Leovy’s Ghettoside, which examines the critical differences between murder investigations of Black victims vs. white ones.

A sound analysis of the sharply partisan issue of political imbalance among university faculty. Integrating research methodologies that discredit the conservative criticism of higher education, Gross urges academics to take the issue seriously and to defend institutional integrity. Strongly recommended for readers interested in higher education issues and/or the current partisan political struggles in academia.
