Pros
Colleges and universities are shot-thru with leftist professors who preach their odious notions of brutal identity politics, latte Marxism, "gender" fluidity and misanthropy as if they had an invisible gun pointed at their heads. Worse, these tie-dyed jackboots have honed the skill of black-balling conservatives, or traditionalist scholars, or classical liberal scholars who dare to challenge them. They have totally cowed the feckless army of administrators with their threats of publicity and their Title IX inquisitions. It's poisonous. It's how we got Trump. Into this hellscape steps the IHS, with its noble goal of helping classical liberal scholars join academia, attain tenure, standing, respect, and influence on their campuses to restore college to its rightful role as a place for open inquiry, experiments with ideas, civil discourse and learning to be an adult.
Cons
As all the reviews have said, IHS lets down its mission through massive turnover, ensuring that institutional knowledge never grows. Their well-discussed "purges" show that they do not manage people well. The best become alienated, and those who don't buss the right derrières wind up on the purge list. The Russians and the North Koreans are like that, too. Not a great model to follow when you have Milton Friedman quotes plastered on the walls.
