In Leasing the Ivory Tower, Larry Soley reveals that he either knows little about university research or that he is writing for an audience that will not catch his blatant misrepresentations.

Soley should consult students who helped make these economic contributions or who took advantage of a research university's learning environment before he sounds a retreat to the ivory tower.

 Of Ivory Towers and Infobahns
In the metaphor "Academia is an ivory tower," the tenor (or maybe that should be spelled "tenure?") is "academia" and the vehicle is "ivory tower."
So, to use your own terminology, the ivory tower metaphor controls and hides; IMHO, it controls nearly absolutely the public perception of academia, all the while hiding the diversity of institutions and individuals that cannot possibly be defined by one over-arching metaphor.
I don't like the idea that some people would lock us in an ivory tower and subject us to the abuse that such imprisonment brings (though, admittedly, we are deserving of some).

 Gershwin & Ivory Towers
Gershwin seems to have been able to establish a direct line of communication between himself and his listener, and the extraordinary depth and sincerity of his musical expression has found sympathy with people all over the world.
In today’s age where music has become over-compartmentalized and where ivory towers exist for the extremes of all branches of music – classical, jazz, rock, etc. – we perhaps shouldn’t forget that music is meaningless if it does not communicate.
Gershwin proved that you don’t have to appeal to the lowest common denominator to satisfy the public.

You must read Martin Kramer's "Ivory Towers on Sand" if you truly desire to comprehend what is at stake.
In fact, MESA conferences were one of the few places in the nation you could hear hundreds of speeches every year on topics that related directly to 9/11 about which no one seemed interested in hearing prior to 9/11.
Scapegoating these intellectuals with many shades of grey of "rightness" and "wrongness" by constructing these fictitious "towers" of Middle East studies consensus only to knock them down in my opinion is a colossal waste of time.
