The Shadow University: The Betrayal of Liberty on America's Campuses
Research & Learn
Co-authored by FIRE founders Alan Charles Kors and Harvey Silverglate, The Shadow University: The Betrayal of Liberty on America's Campuses is an examination of the erosion of liberty on American campuses. Public reaction to The Shadow University was the single most influential factor leading to FIRE's establishment in 1999. The moment the book hit the shelves, Kors and Silverglate received pleas from students and professors across the country requesting aid and reporting horrific cases of censorship and abuses against liberty on college campuses. Less than one year later, Kors and Silverglate founded FIRE.
