Summer 2008, and widely criticized from then to now. I wonder if a professor of English can ever have the same perspective as a professor of biology or a professor of mathematics. I don't think he has made the case that higher education that can properly be called "elite" is actually disadvantageous.

I don't think he made that case, either. But it doesn't stop some of his observations from being thought provoking.
I do agree that a science professor would likely have an entirely different perspective.
