Hey white men. Ghost from society. Take care of you and yours and let the rest of it burn down. White people fund their own destruction. Good for this guy quitting. Hopefully lots of people start quitting.

A very understandable move.

On the other hand, I'm sure the university sees this as a victory. It's like Hitler chasing Jews out of Germany universities. It doesn't really matter why these undesirables leave -- the powerful people are just glad to see them go.

He should find a good reception at a real university. Maybe where Tony Esolen teaches, or even Hillsdale.

“So, in 2017, I co-published an intentionally garbled peer-reviewed paper that took aim at the new orthodoxy. Its title: “The Conceptual Penis as a Social Construct.” This example of pseudo-scholarship, which was published in Cogent Social Sciences, argued that penises were products of the human mind and responsible for climate change.”

Best part of the article!

Wow!
Thanks for posting this article, even though it is TOTALLY depressing—and TERRIFYING!
Cannot believe that an “institution of higher learning” could sink to a such a LOW level.
No wonder Portland has become such a such HELL HOLE!

A very rare man in today’s academia, a true believer in classic higher education that by it’s very nature demands free speech and critical thinking. His resignation is morally responsible but only serves to open the door for another professor cowed by the left into teaching liberal orthodoxy.

Good for him...now more need to follow him out. It’s very sad what has happened to “education” in this country...

He sound like he is a classic liberal who couldn’t help but notice that his fellow academicians have all gone insane?

Their accusation? “Research misconduct” based on the absurd premise that the journal editors who accepted our intentionally deranged articles were “human subjects.” I was found guilty of not receiving approval to experiment on human subjects.

bwaaahahahhahaha

Pull Portlands accreditation - they are a brainwashing factory not a college

"Atlas is shrugging."

That was my first thought too.

This is exactly the caliber of professor that we need (nay require) in our schools. One of him is worth 50 NEA drones.
