Welcome to "It's All Academic," a website serving many functions. It started as support for the book pictured to the right, and was intended to be devoted entirely to topics related to higher education. Academia only can provide so much inspiration. Fourteen years later, more than a thousand blogs, often poems, on any number of topics are categorized by the headings in the menu to the left.
