In other words,

“I can’t teach very well, so rather than improve my ability to communicate, I’d like you to lower your expectations of all female teachers.”

And for that, the rest of the female teachers should beat her ass.

[FreeperCell]

Awwww. She’s not good enough.

[Fido969]

"we will lose vital scholars, leaders and role models."

Perhaps, but those would be incompetent 'leaders and role models', so we could probably live with it.

[SMARTY]

‘bonus’?

Was that misspelled?

[Reno89519]

Is this only if or because they are fat, ugly, and homosexual? What about any of the other LGBT or whatever category of “it”? Is the end result to penalize heterosexual males? Maybe such BS will finally end the tradition of highly valuing Ivy League graduates.

[Sir Napsalot]

To be fair, only female students should rate female lecturers. That eliminates the ‘bonus baseline’ in her argument.

And I suspect she really wouldn’t want ONLY female input for her evaluation.

[rbg81]

Really? Because most college students are now female. It’s been that way for quite a while.

[twister881]

Women are 60% of college graduates, nearly 2/3 of the entrants to law & medical schools, they’re a protected class, they own half the money and all the p****...and yet they still b*tch & moan :(

Sans blague! Incroyable! Zut alors! Sacré bleu!

[sitetest]

It’s Cornell. Not quite Ivy League.

[GregoTX]

Only females? So “equality” isn’t the objective?

"Without a more diverse faculty that reflects the true breadth of our society and our world," she writes, "we will lose vital scholars, leaders and role models."

What a crock of crap. Show me the evidence that the current ratio in whatever field you want to talk about isn't pure supply and demand. Oh, and while you're at it, please detail the metric by which you intend to measure "diverse faculty" As a Big Ten prof myself, I would argue that a "conservative" professor is about as diverse as you will find on any campus, plus they can actually offer a cogent argument to most liberal bullshit.

[econjack]

Even better when you read her bio, which starts out:

Professor Sara Pritchard is an historian of technology and an environmental historian specializing in twentieth-century France and the French empire...She is also presently conceptualizing a research project to investigate the emergence of concerns regarding lightscapes and soundscapes in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries.

Sexist wretch.

[MrB]

In other words, women should be expected to score lower than the male faculty.

[1010RD]

It’s not about the money. It’s the principle of the thing.

[Born to Conserve]

Women throw like girls.

[Amagi]

Gender affirmative action trumps merit again in clown town Ivy AcaDUMBia.

[JimRed]

Yes, since they are inferior after all...

[Poison Pill]

"Female faculty should receive an automatic correction — that is to say, a bonus — on their quantitative teaching evaluation scores. The bonus should be determined by average gender bias in teaching evaluations at their institution or national averages."

Just identify as a woman at evaluation time and pick up your check.

Hey! I think I'm finally getting the hand of this!
