Brent isn't going to admit anything.
He is stuck in an indefensible position scratching for straws in a hay field.
Stating that his personal click at a mid-western institution is indicative on national academic trends is hogwash.
Dismissing the Berkley’s, Antioch’s, Madison’s, Eugene’s, NYC’s, and Ivy leagues leaves out a hugely influential academic realm, most of it.

Sorry Brent, you are simply argumentative and downright derailed.
