Probably a good thing to get out before getting involuntarily dragged into a student show trial.
Our education system from preschool to grad school is hopelessly broken.
I do not miss academia.
Brick-and-mortar universities will be replaced by the internet.

Personally, I don’t think it will be long before the whole higher education/college paradigm collapses. It’s a different world and people don’t need college as they did following WWII until maybe the 90’s.
There just isn’t anywhere near the value of college as there once was. Outside of STEM curriculum, there is very little that you actually “learn” to help you in a career. College has become nothing more than an extremely overpriced indoctrination camp and a whole lot more people are saying, “No, thanks. Keep your debt.”
Moron.
Make them pay you.
They have to.
Giving up tenure is violence!
Brings to mind the persecution of Mike Adams, professor of criminal justice, at UNC-Wilmington. Did not end well for Mike. This brownshirtery is a nightmare.
The fellow can write and many of the comments at the link are sensible and well put.
I suppose the bottom line is that much of American academia is being steered by people who are mentally ill. You know, Democrats.
Miss my students and non-woke faculty members. That’s about it.
He needs to stick around. Higher education needs more like him to fight back against the woke commies.
I said this in all earnestness to a professor friend of mine: Before this is over your colleagues will come to kill you.
That term, as used by the "critical race theory" crowd actually does mean criminal and antisocial behavior and attitudes.
Victor David Hanson provides interesting insights into this problem in his podcasts. He went to UC Santa Cruz shortly after the campus was built. He taught minority students at Cal State Fresno. He spends time at the Hoover Institution on the Stanford University campus in Palo Alto. He has taught at the Army War College and at Hillsdale University. He has nothing but severe disdain for the woke professors and students at Stanford.
Uh Oh. He discovered the basic fact that black people commit a majority of felonies in Los Angeles.
Race...
You’d think anthropologists would know better.
I’m retired now. I earned a bachelors degree and two masters. If I had it to do up over again I’d apprentice with a plumber or electrician after trade school. Not only is academia all fouled up but the Fortune 100 companies I worked for are pretty awful as well.
“As you won’t be surprised to hear, Jeff is not a racist, but a standard-issue liberal Democrat.”
Isn’t that an oxymoron?
