The author's aim is to write for students, parents, concerned citizens and academics in a way that will help all to cope constructively with the current crisis in American higher education. If the adversarial relationship between the academy and the larger society continues, great harm will result to all.

The emphasis is on the interplay between scholarship and politics both on and off the campus. The author then suggests constructive remedies for change.
