Ones that that could not be employed elsewhere.
My wife was applied for tenure at a major university. She is intelligent and hardworking. The leftist kooky people that were brought for the tenured positions definitely wouldn't be hired anywhere else.
She got the message and is now in a much better position and in a vastly better peer group.

Sad but true....my husband is on his way to another position where they are interested in doing the right thing for medicine, support good research and actually like and understand outcome studies

I can relate to the posts in here.

With substantial experience in the Middle East; and a Masters in International Relations from GWU, I thought it desirable following 9/11 to study the Islamist threat closely.

I read Huntington, Gaddis, Pipes, Lewis, Fukuyama. Johnson, Armstrong, etc -- and put together a graduate level seminar on "Civilizations in Conflict -- the threat to Western Democracy".

The local college was reluctantly supportive after I challenged the administration to "fault the proposal". And, the credential committee spread its holy water on the seminar -- and formally designated it a three credit course.

The seminar turned out to exceed all expectations; and the participants wanted to continue the studies even after conclusion of the formal sessions last year.

However, the administration changed; became increasingly liberal; and I could not even get 15 minutes of the new Dean's time to formally brief her on the Course Outline and Objectives.

Further, she was stridently anti-military -- and, as I was a retired NAVY 0-6, I was dead in the water.

I picked up my marbles; rode off into the sunset; and am currently corresponding with Senator Kyl in an attempt to cut off all federal grants to the institution until the rampant liberal bias that permeates the college is exposed for all to examine.

I am in my late 70's -- and would have taken more forceful action had I not been conducting the seminar essentially pro-bono as a community service.

But, this is just another example of what we are up against in presenting a balanced educational product to the populace. Big trouble, folks !!!
