I bet this story would leave me pretty jazzed.
But it’s behind a paywall.
And, as we know from too many case studies, academic freedom only applies if you toe the ultraleftist party line. The rest of us have grown weary of supporting these parasites.
Liberal arts are easy. People who could not do any real job, get tenure in liberal arts and milk the system forever. All they do is “educate” few similar useless types!
This Mr. Davis is right. Colleges need to educate for real life jobs! Get rid of at least half of the liberal arts professors would be good start.
Like most people, as soon as I hear the name ‘Miles Davis’, I think of the famous jazz fusion musician, now deceased.
I am guessing when people under 35 hear the name, the majority of them do not associate that name with anything out of the ordinary. Of course their are the exceptions.
Jazz will always be here with us, just like classical music, but it is nowhere near as popular, as ubiquitous as it was up until about 1985. Most TV shows had a theme song that was affected by jazz phrasings. As George H. said, All Things Must Pass.
I was a conservative professor at a Big 10 university. They certainly would have laid me off if they could. But they couldn’t because I had tenure. This is a two-edged sword.
Anything with the names Critical, Studies or Theory ought to be made elective, downgraded in credit value, and not an actual degreed major.
This is the first time I have seen Linfield College mentioned since my basketball coach used to brag about his years there. He was my coach from ‘50 through ‘52.
