CONFESSIONS of a PROFESSOR: How Academia Is Destroying America's Freedom
How has our higher education system become so corrupt and unsustainable while undermining our freedom behind closed doors?

Imagine sending your conservative daughter off to your state's flagship university. After six long years, not the four years you expected, she returns home with a bachelor's degree in one of the "studies." She returns home to live because she can't find employment sufficient to support herself. As bad as that is, she is now a socialist, hates America, and blames men for a patriarchal society she believes ruined her life. Unfortunately, that is not imaginary, and there is no place to turn. Our 4,000 independent universities act as one, and their 1.5 million professors hold homogenous views. This single-mindedness has eliminated free speech and critical thinking.

Confessions of a Professor provides a rare insider's analysis of our universities' destructive actions in three broad areas. First, it details their failure to educate students to contribute to society. Second, it exposes academia's politicized research that helps form government policy. Finally, it documents academia's actions to undermine us at home and betray us abroad.

Beyond those issues, it explains academic research in an easily understood manner. It shows how academic studies align with the new Socialist-Democrat party and drive regulations that control our lives. As bad as their politicized science is and their students' experiences can be, this book also exposes the extent of racism in the name of diversity. Similarly, it reveals how the war on men has led to 50% more women attending universities and much worse. But even if all these issues were rectified, academia's traitorous relationship with China is enough alone to condemn the institution. As this book shows, we cannot maintain an advanced society without a higher education system, but ours is failing America and actively undermining us internationally. The author provides over 500 references to support these findings.

About the Author

Dr. Gilliam honed his writing skills in academia but had to give up that career to publish Confessions of a Professor. As a professor, he taught accounting at leading business schools but spent most of his time performing research and writing. Dr. Gilliam published in his field’s top research journals and presented his work at conferences worldwide. He loved his career, but after 14 years of watching academia increasingly undermine America, he had had enough and turned to writing full-time. Before academia, he worked in finance and accounting with large multinational semiconductor and computer companies in Silicon Valley. After 20 years, he retired as a senior financial executive. Dr. Gilliam resides with his wife in Nashville, TN. They love to travel and have visited over 50 countries.
