Appropriate, isn’t it, that one of the whining professors from Madison would be named “Goldbrick:?

FReep mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.

[dontreadthis]

I don’t need a picture either

“It isn’t the cuts. If this goes through, we are all leaving. No joke.”...

I hear there are good openings at the University of Havana,
and the People’s University of Bejing.

Besides removing the idiotic concept of tenure, Wisconsin should institute mental evals yearly for all professors.

Democrats and public unions have massive entitlement mentalities and see nothing wrong with this kind of behavior

Goldrick-Rab acknowledges that she searched Twitter for individuals who identified themselves as future Badgers.

"Future Badgers"?

People who collect and wear science fiction badges?

People who address their complaints to those who aren't yet born?

What Cub Scouts are called now that the BSA has changed?

Those just taking up some obscure perversion?

[oblomov]

She would sort of resemble Hitler if she had a little mustache.

[Jack Hammer]

A hard Left Marxist in the Stalin mold?

Hey, she fits right in over there at UW.

Liberalism is a mental disease, and apparently teaching in college can have a tendency to aggravate it.

What a loss. This country can't afford to lose sociology and educational policy professors.

(do I really need the tag?)

It’s actually Lena Dunham’s twin.

I’d ask what a “Hope Lab” is, but I’m afraid I might have a stroke if I find out.

[BenLurkin]

Doing away with tenure will improve the quality of university instruction.

[Cuttnhorse]

Sara Goldrick-Rab is a professor of educational policy studies and sociology...

Wowzer!! We better listen to this genius...what an intellectual background!

[SaveFerris]

Another radical in a professor status.

[isom35]

and she gets bonus points for the hyphenated name.

[Boogieman]

I believe they are trans-species humans in the processing of transitioning to badgers.
