What an ugly, shameful thing to write. When I talk shit about professors it's this kind of attitude I'm talking about.

She's not a professor; she specializes in "hate-link" pieces where she portrays students as enemy/ignorant/plagiarist.

No doubt there are some; but this type of writing is like criticizing US "higher-ed" as if it were all Oberlin.

Her "research" often consists of polling her Twitter friends (hello, who think like her) for examples, & writing piece. :-(

So much of higher-ed writing is dominated by unemployed humanities ex-grad students that it's truly distorting real issues.

agreed, people don't know the real stats at all (most undergrads live off campus, hold paying jobs during school, etc.)

Anyway, actually a media ecology issue: most writers on higher-ed come from tiny corner, and hate-link works as strategy.

A number of topics—most notably higher-ed but others—truly distorted by anti-intellectual and sloppy hate-link pieces.

Version of the "10p news mostly works to scare elderly people about alleged insane levels of crime" distortion... alas.
