The Nation has announced the launch of StudentNation—a new student-based web-page.
You’ll find details on The Nation‘s student programs and projects, activist resources, info on upcoming Nation events, links to student articles and blog posts, a question of the week, a collection of featured student websites, select Nation articles and, eventually, a progressive calendar and a student-produced photo blog. Be sure to check out the articles from the special issue on “The New Face of the Campus Left.”
Or, if the “liberal/left” Nation is not for you, check out thenew blog Phi Beta Cons, which is billed as “the right take on higher ed”—that’s right as in ultra right wing.
The blog, is sponsored by William F. Buckley, Jr.’s The National Review. The blog is described as “dedicated to keeping an eye on the politics of campus life.”
So far drawn postings from Stephen Balch, of the National Association of Scholars, on the Lawrence Summers resignation; David Gelernter on Yale’s admission of an ex-Taliban spokesman as a student; SUNY Trustee Candace de Russy on the “Jihad on campus”; and Anne D. Neal, of the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, on what she describes as “the vast divide” between “academic elites & mainstream America.”
