New deceptions: How illiberalism is hijacking the university

OPEN members Jo-Anne Dillabough and Andrea Pető in University World News with New deceptions: How illiberalism is hijacking the university

In the article ‘How illiberalism is hijacking the university’ Jo-Anne Dillabough and Andrea Pető describe how far-right actors fund a parrel university system.

Dillabough and Pető argue that “Instead of new, critical institutions, today we witness a new wave of universities founded on the virtue platforms of the global ultra-right which seek to capture the space of the university as a modern institutional form but fill it with their own ideological warfare, serving as a planned attack on liberal political perspectives and creating and fighting culture wars.”
