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.
The real problem is the neo-Marxism. Ideally, the subjects that are basically fronts for destructive ideology (e.g. Gender Studies) would be eliminated and the revolutionaries that have taken over necessary fields like history, humanities, etc. would be rooted out. Unfortunately, we are probably already passed the point where that can be done through normal means. Rough times are ahead.

I feel victim to the the “You have the wrong ethnic makeup and don’t have tenure yet.” Part of that sword.
And, just to be honest, I have more academic publications, in better journals, than the dean of Academic affairs at the university where I was head of Library Cataloging. There was no cause other than identity politics.
—”This is a two-edged sword.”
Our son, a teacher, and incoming Department Head used exactly the same words.
From my perspective, this is a positive article for the education industry.
Yes, it points out one of the usual suspects and his downfall.
