From the Paper:

"The Shadow University is a disturbing examination of the ways in which freedom is truncated on the campuses of American universities. The United States prides itself on its freedoms, particularly freedom of speech and freedom of the presses. Moreover, popular wisdom suggests that American universities are places where these freedoms are exemplified. The university has developed into a symbol of freedom and freedom of expression in the United States."
