confessions of a professor
by
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.

thoughts from readers:
This book is an easy read and an eloquent representation of the academic community’s antics. My hope is that those who are so deeply entrenched in their ideologies will read this book with an open mind because this book, as I know from personal experience with my friends in academia, is an honest representation of what is actually happening within the academic community. The bravery it took to divulge the information in this book will, no doubt, subject the author to tremendous criticism instead of well-deserved accolades. SP
Who should read this book? People who want an insightful perspective into what's happening in today's difficult to understand society. Who needs to read it? Parents, college students, voters, taxpayers, politicians, doctors, patients, teachers, and more. JP
Great read, well thought and written. KHK
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.
