The English Department at Rutgers University recently announced a list of “anti-racist” directives and initiatives for the upcoming fall and spring semesters, including an effort to deemphasize traditional grammar rules. The initiatives were spelled out by Rebecca Walkowitz, the English Department chair at Rutgers University, and sent to faculty, staff and students in an email, a copy of which was obtained by The College Fix.

You think it’s only Rutgers?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Of course not, the thread article is about Rutgers.

The vast majority of universities now are nothing more than soicialist/liberal fascist indoctrination centers where students go into debt for 30 years and for what? Bumpkiss.

wow, wouldn’t think a $100,000 degree from that English department would be very useful in obtaining a job, plus the entire university is substantially degraded since a mission of that English department Graduate Writing Program, which “serves graduate students across the Rutgers community. The GWP’s mission is to support graduate students of all disciplines in their current and future writing goals, from coursework papers to scholarly articles and dissertations,”

“Rutgers new “english” professor...cursive writing is forbidden”

Bahaha! “That would be retarted, sir!”
This assclown, Rebecca Walkowitz, should resign today and demand that “brilliant” young lady be given her job. What’s the matter Walkowitz? Oh, you’re not THAT woke are you!

No, Rutgers is state supported. And it has fallen. My father graduated from Rutgers (Newark campus), and it was much better then. I graduated from NJIT in 1979, across the street from current campus of Rutgers Newark. Rutgers had gone commie by that time, with a statue of Paul Robeson in front of the student center, and a very active chapter of the Revolutionary Communist Party (RevCom).
