Community of Scholars


COMMUNITY OF SCHOLARS is a hard-hitting story of campus politics at its best and worst, and the toll that games played in the name of higher learning takes on professors and students alike. The powerful portrayal of campus life draws on Agria's unique perspective as a long-time campus administrator and wife of a University President.

Grief-stricken at the death of his wife and unborn child, Political Science Professor A. J. Ferinelli buries himself in his teaching and scholarly research...that is, until Math Instructor Sam Pomerantz shows up accusing the Academic Dean of sexual harassment. Drawn into her quest for justice, A.J. finds himself caught up in a firestorm of intrigue, betrayal and violence that threatens to destroy the college and with it his faith in higher education itself as a community of learning. Change and emotional growth never come easily and the journey to professional accountability is fraught with tough choices. "Things change, stuff happens, death is just a matter of time. Inevitable. But not everybody lives. That choice is ours...and ours alone."
