In the name of academic freedom; the core values of higher education―honest scholarship; unbiased research; and diversity of thought and person―have been corrupted by an academy more interested in preserving its privileges than in protecting its own integrity. The American university has lost its civility. Nowhere is this loss more apparent than in the rise of anti-Semitism and anti-Israelism on college campuses. This book documents the alarming rise in bigotry and bullying in the academy; using a range of evidence from first-hand accounts of intimidation of students by anti-Israel professors to anti-Semitic articles in student newspapers and marginalization of pro-Israel scholars. The UnCivil University exposes the unspoken world of double standards; bureaucratic paralysis; and abdication of leadership that not only allows but often supports a vocal minority of extremists on campus.

This Book Tells About The History Of Central Americans In Los Angeles.By WilliamThis book tells about the history of Central Americans in Los Angeles. Here are some of the things that this book mentions: After the late 1970’s; most Central American migration was related to the civil wars in some of the countries and the resulting economic ruin. When they came; most of them ended up living in the Westlake and Mac Arthur neighborhoods; known as Pico-Union. Pico-Union had a lot of multifamily residential buildings and was already established. Nicholas Ornella came to Los Angeles in the 1980’s. He and his family managed a chain of seven retail soccer goods stores through Los Angeles. Each Central American country cooks beans; rice; and corn differently.
