917: Colleges in Crisis | Why Students Are Leaving Elite Universities

The Brian Nichols Show

Why are college campuses becoming breeding grounds for extremist ideologies, and what's really behind the surge in campus antisemitism? In this explosive episode of The Brian Nichols Show, Campus Reform Editor-in-Chief Zachary Marschall reveals the shocking 50-year transformation of higher education that led to the current crisis. From professors promoting anti-Western values to students defending terrorism, this conversation exposes the harsh reality of what's happening in America's universities.

Marschall takes us behind the scenes of how academia slowly shifted from education to indoctrination, explaining how a new generation of professors and administrators have created an environment where anything criticizing Western values is celebrated as sophisticated thinking. He shares disturbing examples of increasing violence against Jewish students, including recent incidents at the University of Michigan where students were held at gunpoint simply for being Jewish.

The discussion delves into the role of DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) as a "gateway drug" to more extreme ideologies, and how parents are finally waking up to the reality of what their children are being taught. Marschall reveals how universities are seeing billions in donations evaporate and enrollment rates decline as families seek alternatives to institutions that have become hotbeds of extremism.

Perhaps most importantly, the conversation explores the emerging signs of change, from Stanford University's new president declaring that higher education should focus on learning rather than activism, to major employers now screening job candidates for participation in antisemitic activities. Marschall predicts significant changes in higher education by the end of the decade, with southern and interior state schools becoming more attractive alternatives to coastal institutions.

Host Brian Nichols and Marschall conclude with powerful insights about the dangers of moral relativism and the importance of standing up for Western values. They discuss how the events of October 7, 2023, served as a wake-up call for many who previously embraced a "live and let live" mentality, forcing them to confront the reality that not all cultural values are equal – and some must be actively opposed.
