A Sociology professor gets laid off and has to find and hold down a real job in the real world?

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) argued that the protests at the University of Missouri “will be an impetus across the country†and “how diverse the faculty is†“is a problem all over America†on Monday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Rachel Maddow Show.â€

Speaking from the horse’s mouth.
Great!
Now they’ll hire more conservatives!
Right. Force hiring of conservative teachers and administrators.
I was hired to a job until HQ informed the local office it had to be a minority hire. That job posting stayed open for years because no special token ever applied.
Add “Mau-Mauing†to your vocabulary. It’s a great way to understand some current events, especially as they relate to Mizzou, Yale, Ferguson etc.
We are watching classic “Mau-Mauing†directed at bureaucratic and academic “flak catchers,†like the university president forced to resign yesterday by pure mob tactics. It works, so expect it to spread, as it has to Yale today. Those of us old enough to remember the 1960s have seen this all before, with Black Panther marches, campus administration office sit-ins, etc.
Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers is a 1970 book by Tom Wolfe. The book, Wolfe’s fourth, is composed of two articles by Wolfe, “These Radical Chic Evenings,†first published in June 1970 in New York magazine, about a gathering Leonard Bernstein held for the Black Panther Party and “Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers,†about the response of many minorities to San Francisco’s poverty programs. Both essays looked at the conflict between black rage and white guilt.
“Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchersâ€
The second part of Wolfe’s book is set at the Office of Economic Opportunity in San Francisco which was in charge of administering many of the anti-poverty programs of the time. Wolfe presents the office as corrupt, continually gamed by hustlers diverting cash into their own pockets. The essay centers on the irony of these failed programs fortifying not the diets but the resentment and contempt of the Black, Chicano, Filipino, Chinese, Indian, and Samoan communities of San Francisco.[2]
Wolfe describes hapless bureaucrats (the Flak Catchers) whose function was reduced to taking abuse, or “mau-mauing†(in reference to the intimidation tactics employed in Kenya’s anti-colonial Mau Mau Uprising) from intimidating young Blacks and Samoans, who are seen as reveling in the new-found vulnerability of “the Manâ€. The flak-catchers smile pathetically, allowing their tormentors to indulge themselves in abuse; the process is seen as a farcical but useful expedient, condescending toward the resentment of these communities. He described one mau-mauer who would show up at the offices and hand over ice-picks, switch-blades and straight-razors that he said were taken from gangs, in exchange for payments from the program. As a result, much of the money of these programs was not reaching its intended recipients, rendering the programs largely ineffective.
More like the horse's ass.
She’s a radical who just like chaos; just like her friends.
The MSM touts the Nazi symbol yet they’ve never offered any evidence who actually did it. Or how it relates to anything. When I see such a symbol, I think of Jewish persecution.
She and Jay Nixon are the two biggest ass kissers in the State
PS. I never had a “ diversity” hire professor who was worth a crap. All unknowing, unprepared, and unqualified
I don’t think there’s going to be much of a problem.
You see...when some idiot gets yearly costs of $25,000 up for a university and they can’t run a competent operation for real students....then parents or the kids paying the outrageous price....will leave.
Go visit the University of Missouri in the spring and ask them what the interest is for the fall semester and see if they’ve lost thirty to forty percent of the new students. Ask the Chancellor how he’ll cover the cost of the program and the salary level of instructors. You only get to have the status of a BMW-operation....if you actually sell well-performing BMWs. If you sell a 1973 Ford Pinto...for $25,000 a year (tuition and board)...well, it just won’t work.
THE MOB RULES - Black Sabbath
Close the city and tell the people that something’s coming to call
Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh
You’ve nothing to say
They’re breaking away
If you listen to fools
The Mob Rules
The Mob Rules
Kill the spirit and you’ll be blinded, the end is always the same
Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh
It’s over, it’s done
the end is begun
If you listen to fools
The Mob Rules
You’ve nothing to say
Oh, They’re breaking away
If you listen to fools
Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might start rolling and take you right back around
Impetus - yes - I believe millions of Americans are sick of being dictated to by the minority and I hope we are all ready to stand up and cause it to end. Enough is enough.
Yes, Senatorette McCaskill, it may become an impetus across the Country....until we have another Kent State (four dead in Oh-high-oh); and then you and your guilty ilk will try to blame it on guns.
Or... Misslou protests an impetus across the country that’ll finally result in most bullsh*t college degrees losing their perceived value, leading to a renaissance in classic vocational training. Leading to parents saving tons of money.
The “enough is enough” will come next November in the 2016 elections.

Stuff like this will hand over to the Donald the election.
I had forgotten that book and the essay, it’s a great one! Worth re-reading. The thing is that the language is much more confident and funny than would be allowed today. Hell, it wouldn’t even be published at all today, not in a mainstream publication.
Giving in to racist bullies never ended well. The team members should have had their scholarships yanked, the supporting coach fired, the faculty who supported the protesters should be fired. What a loser school...now a racist cesspool of LIB idiots.
Rush nailed this. These liberal fools in academia are reaping what they sowed.
