"Senior Vice Provost for Diversity"....what a load of crap.
The madness of liberalism continues its destruction of American institutions.
We're living in Orwell's "1984" in some ways. The misuse of language is a key element in "1984". Here we have a "Senior Vice Provost for Diversity". And the job of such a person is to stamp out diversity of thoughts, opinions, and attitudes, not promote such diversity. There's your irony.
I saw a picture of her - she looks pretty manly, if you get my meaning ...
Another Professional grievance hustler with a cushy sinecure.
There is no way to stop this at Harvard.
She is on the, ahem, far left.
Easy - I've crossed swords with these folks a dozen times - 1. All such success is despite sexism; similar success on the part of men is because of it, and (2) the logic inherent in the criticism itself is an example of rigid, linear patriarchal male reasoning.
There are certain university faculties entering the Dark Ages, far darker than anything the McCarthy era was supposed to have held. And they're doing it willingly. It would be a sad curiosity and the death of a free institution were it not for the fact that the people responsible are doing so with an eye toward dictating social policy through government as well as the captive institutions. "No" is an easy thing to say to them but it's much harder to make it stick.
No academic record to speak of, in terms of publishing papers or doing research studies. But Harvard's $20B or more endowment means that they will be around for a long time.
It has been a long time since elite institutions contributed anything to society but elitism. My favorite Republican president was no ivy leaguer and so was my favorite Democrat president. Truman and Reagan were anything but elitists. I believe it is safe to say that whatever good come to this nation in the next few years, it will not come through efforts of the Ivy League elites.
waiting for Austin Powers to give her a karate chop and pull on her hair "its a man baby!"
What are those idiots grinning at?
"She"
I'll bet they all have old Kerry/Edwards bumper stickers on their old Volvos.
Janet Reno turned down the job offer?
This is sad. Hopefully, now they will also deconstruct the endowment and sink into irrelevancy. How much longer will people wonder why young men find alternatives to college? And where is our chairman Mao who would send such to the country and give her a pitchfork?
That may be the plan - dumbing down by making college repugnant, intolerable, and castrating.
