They Found 88 Problems, and the Dancer Was Just One

These professors have made it clear that they lack the objectivity and intellectual seriousness to teach anyone anything.

Given the enormous cost of credit hours at a school like Duke, any student who wastes thousands of dollars taking a class from any of these idiots is a sucker of the highest order.

You could close down the 4-5 schools/colleges most heavily represented, in every university in the nation, and markedly improve the average education level of the country.

[mom.mom]

Why would anyone go to this school?

[trisham]

Holy mackeral.

[trisham]

Well done.

[Dante3]

Reminds me of Minnie Perle of HeeHaw on steroids.

Notice that out of the 88 only two are from math and one from physics. All the rest are from disciplines notorious for their esteem of self-promoting spin and political wankerism.

[Dante3]

I am sure they suffer a drop in applications by better students as long as Richard Brodhead is the contracts of those 88 are renewed - they cannot fire those who have tenure.

There’s a physicist in the group of 88???

I’m ashamed.

[ncpatriot]

It would be good if we could get pics of all the Gang of 88 and post them here or online. I bet the gang wouldn’t like it. Course I am shy and don’t want attention. These in gang would probably thrive on attention.

drunk-@ss LESBIAN...

There, I fixed that for you.

[jas3]

Do you really not know what string theory is? Or were you joking?

He got a nappy head

[No Truce With Kings]

These three:

Lee, Dan A. (Math)
Petters, Arlie (Math)
Plesser, Ronen (Physics)

should be terminated immediately.

The other 85 have the excuse of ignorance. They could not master a hard science or an academic field requiring intellectual rigor. But Lee, Petters and Plesser teach *real* subjects — disciplines that get people killed if they are not taught properly. If people want to be intectually lazy they should go into fields where it does not really matter — things like cultural anthropology, women’s studies and visual studies. If they cross over into the hard sciences they need to be plucked out like weeds.

LOL!

"I, for one, did not think through all of the unintended consequences,

Leftists never do think about consequences, nor do they care about consequences.

Mommy and Daddy never held them responsible for their dumb, destructive choices growing up - why should anybody think they'd take responsibility for their stupidity as adults?

[SkyPilot]

It would be good if we could get pics of all the Gang of 88 and post them here or online. I bet the gang wouldn’t like it.

These people make a good salary - teaching nothing.

Women's Studies? Romance Studies? Chicano Studies? African Studies?

This isn't a pursuit for knowledge. Parents are paying $50,000 a year to send their children to this?

[EdReform]

BTTT

[Paulus Invictus]

An amazing list of leftist profs! They all have something in common. They all “teach” in the schools of Letters, Arts and Sciences which should be re-named Letters, Arts and Socialism. The Science team should separate themselves from Letters and Arts or be contaminated by the commie weirdos, not only at Duke, but very other university where Karl Marx is still taught and embraced by such far left idiots as those on the list.

[Teacher317]

Well, that's a finely-tuned mind sharpened by countless debates and international conferences, a receptacle of the accumulated wisdom of the ages, the product of decades of intense study and professional training, the artisan who will mold young minds into tools for the future... that is a tenured professor at one of the elite universities in the entire world!

You mean you can't see that?
