confessions of a professor

dR. thom gilliam, pH.d.
How has our higher education system become so corrupt and unsustainable while undermining our freedom behind closed doors?
Confessions of a Professor provides an insider’s in-depth analysis of our universities’ destructive actions in three broad areas. First, it details their failure to educate students to contribute to society. Second, it exposes academia’s politicized research that helps form government policy. Finally, it documents academia’s actions to undermine us at home and betray us abroad. Over 500 independent references support these findings.
Thom details in Confessions of a Professor how 4,000 independent universities act in concert while 1.5 million professors seemingly all think alike. As the analysis in this book shows, the cement that binds them also undermines attempts at improvement. They act like the intelligentsia who can do what they want.
If you are a concerned American who wants to better understand how our higher education system is helping to destroy our freedom, then Confessions of a Professor is for you.

Never forget the press is the enemy. The establishment is the enemy. The professors are the enemy. Professors are the enemy. Write that on a blackboard 100 times and never forget it.
— President Richard M. Nixon, 1970
FIVE DECADES LATER . . .
If you trust the press or have confidence in the establishment, you have some catching up to do. But no matter what you think of the professors, you are in for a jolt.

About dR. Thom
Thom honed his writing skills in academia but had to give up that career to publish Confessions of a Professor.
As a professor, Thom taught accounting at leading business schools but spent most of his time performing research and writing. He published in his field’s top research journals and presented his work at conferences worldwide. Thom loved his career, but after 14 years of watching academia increasingly undermine America, he had had enough and turned to writing full-time.
Before academia, Thom worked in finance and accounting with large multinational semiconductor and computer companies. After 20 years, he retired as a senior financial executive.
