To break the pattern of department-by-department hiring, and to advance “interdisciplinarity” studies, Michigan Technological University has devised a new hiring system, reports Inside Higher Ed. This year, those hired applied and were evaluated universitywide.

But the new process seems intended to advance the study of a single, highly criticized theme, namely “sustainability.” A number of campuses nationwide are using this theme to impose a stifling, all-encompassing, politically correct worldview on students.
