"Administrative Anarchy in American Academia: Corruption and Chaos in Chiropractic Colleges, Clinical Nutrition programs, Functional/Naturopathic Medicine programs, and more" provides a shocking, sobering, saddening, and solution-oriented first-person view from inside the current state of corruption and deregulation in American academia, specifically but not exclusively inside America's chiropractic colleges that are increasingly rebranding themselves as so-called "health science universities" (ie, "pseudoversities) despite not meeting strict criteria for such and not enforcing reasonable and modern standards of academic rigor. Speaking mostly from his own experience, Dr Vasquez provides examples of heart-breaking and mind-melting experiences from within chiropractic colleges/pseudoversities and clinical/functional nutrition programs as students were betrayed, faculty were abused and clear-cut, and administrators ran wild in flagrant disregard against any moral/ethical norms or any minimalist conceptualization of professionalism, academic integrity, malpractice/risk in healthcare, and patient well-being. Testimonials from other clinicians and professors, references to authoritative videos, and citations to peer-reviewed research are provided as supporting resources that readers can access for additional information and perspectives. This narrative is accompanied by several unique, colorful, and fascinating diagrams (INFOGRAPHICS) that demonstrate the interconnections of academic corruption ("Academic Corruption Map"), the cycle of institutional underperformace ("Strategic-Potemkin Stupidity, Intentional Underperformance"), the self-explanatory "Neoliberal hijacking of liberal vocabulary and ideals: using the language of freedom for domination" and finally the semihumorous "Academic Payola Cycle: Flushing Students and Society Down the Toilet of Neoliberal Profiteering and Deregulation."

49 C.A.G. Repeats by Robert Tedder (1 Review)    Price verified 41 minutes ago

"I have Huntington's disease." When Mark Tanner heard Emily say this, he knew the disease that is a ticking time bomb. Huntington's disease is a defective gene on the fourth chromosome of the body's twenty-three chromosomes. Babies born of a Huntington's parent have a 50-50 chance of developing the disease. A person's normal chromosome count is seventeen to twenty, and anything above that will develop a disease that will slow a person's speech, lead to uncontrollable body movements, a feeding tube, and a very painful death. Emily Balkin had forty-nine C.A.G. repeats on that fourth chromosome. Huntington's hit her hard. Mark could not help but fall in love. He became her husband and caretaker. They were both teachers, and when Emily got sicker and sicker, Mark had to step up. He did more and more, often at the expense of his own health, to ensure Emily had the best possible care in the world. He often went unthanked, and Mark started to look for affection in all the wrong places. He went down a spiraling path of self-destruction, losing his family in the process and being undermined by people he would call relatives. Above all, Mark made three promises to Emily that he ended up breaking. The one he hated the most was that Emily died alone.
