Can Rick Santorum?s slam of higher education be easily dismissed? Or does it warrant serious debate? Blogging in the Chronicle of Higher Education, Peter Wood writes: ?None (or at least very few) appear to see Santorum?s various criticisms of the university as adding up to a view that needs to be reckoned with as intellectually serious.? But, adds Wood, ?that?s a mistake.? Wood is president of the National Association of Scholars, which Wikipedia refers to as a nonprofit organization that ?opposes multiculturalism and affirmative action, and seeks to counter what it considers a ?liberal bias? in academia.?
