Roll Tide... over the conservatives?

Alabama is a very conservative state. Universities, even deep in the Heart o' Dixie, aren't. Sure to be fallout.

These libs are un-freeping-believable!!!

They know they are losing power and will stop at nothing to inflame the masses (on both sides of the aisle).

Yeah, right . . . the party of inclusion, free speech and the rights of the minority!

The dismantling of the democrat party continues . . .

78% 'A's...LOL!

[aculeus]

Outrageous.

Did the university allow groups which were not "funded and managed by the university" to circulate unstamped mail through the campus mail system berfore the Alabama Observer appeared on the scene? If so, this move would seem to be politically motivated!

The education system needs overhauling if one can get past the RAT libs running the system.

Fendley also called the scholars association's handling of the data "shallow," because it didn't take other factors into account. Higher admission standards might be producing better students, Fendley said, or some teachers might be doing a better job of instruction.

Uh, yeah. No doubt the 'Women's Studies' department is just brimming with Merit Scholars, unlike those dumb old biologists across campus.

"We're trying to follow the law," says the weasel admin-droid.

Is there any living person who believes this? I wonder if the campus chapter of, say, Womyn for Peace and Palestinian Resistance would be banned from the campus mail?

As for Women's Studies, majors in this field also have prospects in various government protective and mental health agencies, welfare and social work, and, especially, in the ever-burgeoning "diversity" industry. Practically every institution of any size, government or private, now has to have an "office of diversity planning" or something similar to make sure that every grievance group, real or imagined, gets its allocated share of the pie.

Topping the list was the women's studies department, where the percentage of "A's" averaged more than 78 percent for freshman and sophomore courses, according to the group. For the Department of Biological Sciences, the comparable percentage was 11.5 percent.

Only 78% As? Must be some men taking those classes.

FWIW things are just the same at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. My Department (Chemistry) grades somewhere around a B minus average. Women Studies like to hand out mostly As.

"They were concluding something based on some very basic data for which they were not fully using other variables," he said.

Pop quiz.

Is this quote from: a) some snot-nosed pimply-faced college kid, or b) the Director of a research office?

[Tempest]

Suppression of freedom of speech and expression coming from the liberal power mongers?!

How come I'm not surprised?

[spodefly]

Liberals believe in diversity ... so long as that diversity falls within the political spectrum of Mao, Stalin, and Marx.
