Couldn’t they just “borrow” some cash from the SF Boys/Girls Club Foundation?
I hate it when they can’t follow the playbook!
Calling Ward Churchill! We have an opening for President at New College!
Rules are for reactionary chumps.
If your intentions are good you can make it up as you go along... it worked well enough in Russia and China.
I thought this was about New College in Sarasota, FL, a “hippie school” funded with taxpayer money!
Shocking!
To quote some of the more priceless parts of the article:
Harry Britt, a former San Francisco supervisor who has been on the faculty since 1992, said the school is run by "a small group of people who are very highly motivated by the white male experience of the 1960s."
"There is rhetoric about love and community and trust, but in reality, it is an unhealthy situation because of the abusive and unwelcoming power situated at the top," Britt said.
And the following:
New College is known for its progressive faculty, one-on-one mentoring and the infusion of critical thinking, self-expression, activism and spirituality into the curriculum.
Now recall that the promotion of student activism is one of the reasons behind the college:
"There is a long history of failed attempts at student organizing, and we saw the report as an opportunity to initiate a student council," Zimmer said. "The administration has been incredibly resistant and even hostile to such an idea."
Hypocrisy, thy name is "Progressive" and thou numbers are legion!"
And, of course, if you missed it, Antioch (the Red Square in Ohio) closed up shop this month.
