The Arizona Association of Scholars and the UA BookStores are proud to present a public lecture featuring Robert Maranto, the 21st Century Chair in Leadership in the department of education reform at the University of Arkansas. Maranto will discuss his recent book, "The Politically Correct University."

About the book:

"Political correctness is one of the primary enemies of freedom of thought in higher education today, undermining our ability to acquire, transmit and process knowledge. Political correctness limits the variation of ideas by an ideologically driven concern for hue rather than view. This volume is not simply another rant; there are good data here, along with well-crafted, hard-to-ignore logical interpretations and arguments. It is the sort of work that those who adhere to idea-limiting notions of the university will try to trivialize. That alone should make it important reading."

–Michael Schwartz, president emeritus, Kent State University and Cleveland State University
