The Maze of Higher Ed, By Mary Grabar, March 19, 2013: The 25th anniversary celebration of the National Association of Scholars had the title and theme, “A Mighty Maze: Charting the Future of American Higher Education,” inspired by the lines from Alexander Pope’s poem “An Essay on Man”:
Expatiate free o'er all this scene of man;
A mighty maze! but not without a plan.
Looking upon the landscape of academe, Dissident Prof has too often been reminded, however, of The Wasteland by T.S. Eliot:
What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images. . . .
But after a weekend catching up with old friends and making new ones in New York City at the NAS conference, Dissident Prof was more inclined to Pope's vision.

Testimony of Mary Grabar before the Judiciary Non-Civil Committee, March 19, 2012 (posted April 12, 2012). Thanks to the magic of The Biz Wizard, I have the portion of my testimony now; it’s only about eight minutes long including the questions and aswers.
by Mary Grabar, March 20, 2012: My testimony before the Georgia House Judiciary Committee on behalf of SB 458 that would in part deny illegal aliens the public benefit of attending Georgia public colleges and universities: I testified regarding what I heard at the "Teach-In on Tucson," my previous post.
You can see the video here. Go to March 19, 2012 (the date of the hearing). The testimony on 458 begins about halfway through, so you may want to fast forward. My testimony begins around the 2:12 mark. Interesting things then happen when a "Teach-In" participant does not like what I'm saying.
Posted July 18, 2014, by Mary Grabar: Today, one year after his untimely death, we honor Larry Grathwohl, brave and patriotic American, who fought communists in the jungles of Vietnam and then in the vermin-infested cells of the Weather Underground here in the U.S.A. Please take the time to go to the site Bringing Down America (the title of Larry's republished book) and help keep his memory alive. You'll find articles by his friends that give insights into his life and his efforts in fighting the misery being caused by Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, and the other terrorists of the Weather Underground. We are countering the lies Bill Ayers was allowed to spread on Fox News recently.
As part of this effort, my article, "Larry Grathwohl: Remembering an American Hero," appears today in Townhall. Read it here.
This event is being coordinated by Larry's daughter Lindsay and Tina Trent, friend and publisher of his book.
Please share and comment on these articles and posts. Send in your own to the address at Bringing Down America. For updates, visit TinaTrent.com We'd love to hear from you.
