Yes, authoritarianism and propaganda are obviously correct, give the man a rubber degree!
What are you doing at FR?
Exposing those who lie to further their cause.
A good example was Guillermo Gonzalez, who was supposedly denied tenure at ISU because of his beliefs. They tell you a tenure rate of 91% at ISU, not the 66% in his department that is actually relevant. They tell you he was an outstanding academic, but that was prior to his time at ISU. In his time there, which is what counts, his work declined rapidly, the work he did was mainly rehashes of old data. He wasn't even first author of any papers for three years straight. What was he doing? Writing the non peer-reviewed The Privileged Planet instead of doing the kind of work that would get him tenure. Plus, none of his graduate students got their doctoral degrees, and he secured grant money at a rate far below average (and was repeatedly warned about it).
The picture is clearly of someone who was promising during his postdoc studies, but then ceased the kind of work that could fulfill that promise in tenure.
But the movie makes it look like there was a persecution for his beliefs. No, this is the ID version of playing the race card when you fail due to your own lack of merit.
