In this The College Fix article, College Fix Staff highlights an op-ed arguing that higher education has drifted away from serious scholarship and toward pop-culture, identity-driven coursework.
- The article cites Daniel Buck of the American Enterprise Institute and Garion Frankel of the James G. Martin Center for Academic Renewal, who criticized modern college course offerings in a June 2 op-ed for The Hill.
- Examples include courses on Bad Bunny, Taylor Swift, Disney, “Sex and the City,” K-pop, and “Queering God.”
- Buck and Frankel argue these are not isolated oddities but symptoms of a deeper problem across universities.
- The critique centers on the idea that colleges have abandoned the classics, rigorous writing, ethics, truth, beauty, and other higher aims.
- The authors connect the trend to declining public trust in higher education and worsening return on investment for many four-year degrees.
- They argue that students who can analyze pop-star branding but cannot write a basic essay are being entertained rather than educated.
- The article frames today’s universities as increasingly resembling “four-year summer camps” that offer comfort and credentials instead of intellectual formation.
- The broader warning is that higher education must return to its core purpose before it loses even more credibility with students, parents, and taxpayers.
