Mainline “Christian” denominations have done the same. Mrs. jimfree and I have walked away from one.
It’s pretty obvious as stupid as some people with degrees are these days.
Makes having a diploma kind of a hollow thing, except for yourself. You know you worked for it. Nobody else is sure you did.
Look at these judges. Some of them seem to border on illiteracy.
As long as liberals fear the truth, they will continue trying to eliminate the truth-tellers, and conservatives have more truth to tell than almost all liberals.
For instance:
Victor Davis Hanson at the AFA's "Failing Grades" conference
He could get in trouble for hurting someone’s feelings who at least participated. Everybody gets an A today.
In the early feminist years (1972-1980 or so) males were courageous enough to publish articles on “unqualified women may be okay at the post office counter but not flying a 747 or performing your heart or brain surgery.”
Another: “Female pilots cannot see the ‘ball’ properly when landing on an aircraft carrier.”
Esquire and others had such incendiary articles at one time.
Worked at universities from 1969-2017.
They once had a discussion on getting rid of a conservative who was qualified for tenure but would be denied it. The conservative was told the inside story: One said “The real problem here is how the did guy get this far so we now have to face this problem? Conservatives are supposed to be weeded out or sabotaged long before they get to this point. Who messed up?”
So young socialists graduate after being brainwashed by socialist professors.
This unfairness has to be fought hard just like eliminating the all Leftist News Media.
Or America goes dark for a thousand years.
The headline is that academia is eliminating conservatives?
Like we didn’t know that... Sheesh.
With a few notable exceptions, American universities are a joke. Young people today should go to a good trade school instead. We can all laugh when university grads try to unclog a toilet, wire an outlet, fix a car, or physically build ANYTHING. The tradesman will earn a good living and provide for his or her family, while the Gender Studies grad will be collecting aluminum cans.
(M)acadamia is for nuts.
“To be fair,” he added, “there is an undercurrent of guilt or self-awareness among some, if not many, relating to the hypocrisy of ostensible support for supporting the free flow of differing ideas while perpetrating overt discrimination in hiring, promotion, tenure, college campus and convention participation and publishing of those on the right.”
The professor noted that “despite the continuing and increasing bigotry” in the NCA against conservatives, he has “long been a conspicuous advocate of fairness” to those who are not on the left.
“I have had lengthy exchanges with the current president, the immediately former president and the executive director of the NCA concerning their need to rectify the current situation which led to more than a score of their limited number of open conservatives leaving the organization,” said Vatz.
“The NCA couldn’t care less,” he added.
All the more reason to go after collage endowments and tax them at 75% and pass laws preventing any government loans to liberal universities. Banckrupt them like they are bankrupting education and fleecing dumbasses with student loans! Time for specialized universities and trade schools to take over. Also never hire anyone with an Ivy League education! Make those schools like kryptonite to employers.
Didn’t realize there were still conservatives left in academia...
Ping!

Colleges are dying and nearly dead. The level of education is now at yesterday’s grade ‘D’ level. ‘C’s are now given where ‘F’s used to be given. ‘A’ are now participation trophies, they are provided for turning in material on time, even poor quality material.
There are also no ‘good’ schools anymore. Even MIT has become a running joke and a poster child for millennials.

re: “it will not allow him to enter a failing grade.”
Ya - remember when “downvotes” used to be displayed on websites?
Notanymore.
After my military service, I moved south to Baltimore and got my BA at Towson State. Richard Vatz was my favorite prof and taught a course entitled “Persuasion” which was the 1970’s version of classic “Rhetoric”. That Vatz is still teaching at that institution in the Baltimore/DC metro lib swamp is quite a testament to him.
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
