Abstract
This paper situates the increasing oppressive climate of American colleges and universities in the long history of these institutions by considering the roots of our present distress. The author seeks to emphasize the toll on individual psyches, the problems of university corporatization and of activists’ narcissism, and the concern of neurodiversity while also making some suggestions about actions that might be taken to rescue ourselves.
