ACTA's report, "Defending Civilization: How Our Universities Are Failing America, and What Can Be Done About It," pretends to present an objective picture of what is happening on America's campuses. Its evidence, which is barely mentioned, much less analyzed in the body of the report, is presented in an 117 item list in the appendix. But a single school accounted for 15 items, 3 accounted for 40 items and just 7 schools accounted for 59 items, more than half the items on the list. This hardly represents American colleges and universities as a whole. It repreesnts extremely sloopy "research."

ACTA's report, "Defending Civilization: How Our Universities Are Failing America, and What Can Be Done About It," pretends to present an objective picture of what is happening on America's campuses. Its evidence, which is barely mentioned, much less analyzed in the body of the report, is presented in an 117 item list in the appendix. Perhaps the clearest indication that ACTA's list measures nothing but it's own perceptions is the extreme concentration of events reported at a bare handful of colleges. This seems to reflect nothing but the easy availablity of data from the sources ACTA has latched onto, for whatever reason. This in turn highlights the total lack of any basic methodology in collecting these items |
