| Summary |
In Campus Misinformation, Bradford Vivian shows how misinformation about colleges and universities has proliferated in recent years, with potentially dangerous results. Popular but highly misleading narratives about the state of free speech and intellectual diversity on college campuses impede constructive deliberation about higher education while promoting suspect ideas about First Amendment freedoms and democratic participation. A powerful demonstration of how disingenuous information can become accepted as fact, this book should matter to anyone concerned about the state of higher education |
