The Rise and Fall of the Integrated Humanities Program, 1966-1979 - a podcast by Darrick N Taylor

In 1970, three professors at the University of Kansas created a unique
humanities program--the Pearson Integrated Humanities Program--that
captivated students, introducing them to the "Great Books" of the
Western tradition and the "perennial philosophy." But some in the
university did not care for this program, and pointed to the Catholic
faith of the three professors in claiming they were "brainwashing" their
students. When six students in the program entered a monastery, their
opponents seized on this to help bring the program to an end. In this
episode of Controversies in Church History, we take a closer look at the
rise and fall of the IHP, and the role of ideology and anti-Catholicism
in its demise.
