It is no secret that the political left has dominated universities throughout the country, but now the Trump administration is trying to reverse that. But politicized education is a problem no matter which side is in control. In a new op-ed, Andrew Gillen details how to implement successful depoliticization of higher education, writing in part:

“The key to successful reform, therefore, is to essentially exploit the existing faculty selection process to create a dissident university within the existing university. The ICEHE method identifies five key markers that increase the likelihood of success: independence, competition for students, equitable funding, hiring freedom, and an even playing field. This method is the most likely path to competitive coexistence, which is necessary to restore and maintain a functioning higher education system.”
