About the Book

A revealing exposé on how foreign authoritarian influence is undermining freedom and integrity within American higher education institutions. In an era of globalized education, where ideals of freedom and inquiry should thrive, an alarming trend has emerged: foreign authoritarian regimes infiltrating American academia. In Authoritarians in the Academy, Sarah McLaughlin exposes how higher education institutions, long considered bastions of free thought, are compromising their values for financial gain and global partnerships. This groundbreaking investigation reveals the subtle yet sweeping influence of authoritarian governments. University leaders are allowing censorship to flourish on campus, putting pressure on faculty, and silencing international student voices, all in the name of appeasing foreign powers. McLaughlin exposes the troubling reality where university leaders prioritize expansion and profit over the principles of free expression. The book describes incidents in classrooms where professors hesitate to discuss controversial topics and in boardrooms where administrators weigh the costs of offending oppressive regimes. McLaughlin offers a sobering look at how the compromises made in American academia reflect broader societal patterns seen in industries like tech, sports, and entertainment. Meticulously researched and unapologetically candid, Authoritarians in the Academy is an essential read for anyone who believes in the transformative power of education and the necessity of safeguarding it from the creeping tide of authoritarianism.

Review :
Authoritarians in the Academy is one of those books that turns over a lot of rocks, exposing the unpleasant things going on underneath...The book deserves a wide readership. —National Review [Authoritarians in the Academy] thoroughly and thoughtfully explains the fall of free speech in the university, and it soon becomes clear to the reader that this tale is not dissimilar to that of other confrontations between liberal democracies and totalitarian states. —Washington Examiner
