"The scene is mighty Western University and its warring faculty, presided over by an ambitious president dreaming of tall new buildings and by a hapless dean. When a female professor in the Women's Studies course insults a male student and is insulted in turn (with a "trans-gender epithet"), the student is expelled by the hastily organized undergraduate oversight board. Seeking justice for the ousted student is Parker Thompson, the young, morally-challenged star of the city's top law firm, who struggles to advance his legal career - and save whatever is left of his soul."--BOOK JACKET.
