Pentagon Funds Campus Left Malcolm A. Kline, January 15, 2010 For about a half a century, the U. S. Defense Department has been feeding the hand that bites it. “During the cold war, the patronage of the national security state substantially transformed the American university in ways that have been mapped by a number of recent studies,” Hugh Gusterson writes in the most recent issue of Radical Teacher, “a socialist, feminist and anti-racist journal on the theory and practice of teaching.” “Federal funding, especially defense funding, underwrote a massive expansion of American higher education, increasing its capitalization twentyfold from 1946-1991,”...
