Dream school : finding the college that's right for you / by Selingo, Jeffrey J.,author. (CARDINAL)559939;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 297-315) and index."Attending college has long been a rite of passage for millions of teens and a bedrock of the American dream. But that well-worn path has lately taken a wrong turn, denying admission even to super-achievers and putting intolerable stress on family finances. Now, in Dream School Jeffrey Selingo shifts the spotlight from how colleges pick students to how students can better pick colleges. With test-optional policies and grade inflation leveling the playing field for applicants, getting into prestigious schools has become a kind of lottery. "Plan A" may work out, but increasingly it isn't -- so Selingo urges families to ditch the "Top 25 or bust" mindset and look beyond the usual suspects. Hidden-gem schools with incredible value and rich opportunities are waiting to be discovered. Backed by unparalleled research -- and an eye-opening survey of more than 3,000 parents -- Dream School reveals what really matters in a college: strong job prospects after graduation, hands-on learning experiences, and a sense of belonging. To help students find their perfect match, Selingo highlights 75 accessible and affordable colleges that will satisfy those priorities. Organized into three easy-to-digest sections, Dream School explains why elite college degrees turn out to matter less than you think, why many parents and students are choosing value over prestige, and how to make sure the degree really pays off. In these pages, Selingo's engaging style and expert insights turn what is often an unnavigable maze into a clear roadmap." --

Campus battlefield : how conservatives can win the battle on campus and why it matters / by Kirk, Charlie,author.(CARDINAL)823792;
Your job is to shut up and listen -- "I don't think it is 'safe' to be conservative on our campus" -- The magisterial classroom lectern -- The campus as a cloistered convent -- A pillow for your thoughts -- Safe spaces suck -- "Sticks and stone may break my bones..." -- Thou shalt not embarrass -- Free speech is spoken over there only -- The illiberal arts (and sciences) -- Warning! Triggers ahead -- The white privilege indoctrination -- Black victimization bunco -- The roots of the Left's intellectual chokehold -- Navigating the treacherous terrain -- Join us in our fight for America's soul.The Campus Battlefield takes that fight to our nation's college campuses, where the left's decades-long campaign to transform our universities into radical re-education camps is working, and now we are seeing the disastrous results. Free speech, intellectually rigorous debate, and the simple concepts of tolerance and fairness are routinely being corrupted and weaponized to promote radical leftist ideologies, enforce groupthink, and marginalize or eliminate any student, professor, and dean who gets in their way. All the while, these hothouses of close-mindedness are staffed by blame-America, anti-free market, victimology professors who are twisting the minds of tomorrow's leaders.
