What the heck was he doing at Sarah Lawrence in the first place - wow.
From stories like this, one must remember the leftist’s creed.
You have the right to any opinion you want, just as long as it’s ours.
His op-ed that he published in The New York Times which raised all of this ruckus was the following. “I recently surveyed a nationally representative sample of roughly 900 “student-facing” administrators — those whose work concerns the quality and character of a student’s experience on campus. I found that liberal staff members outnumber their conservative counterparts by the astonishing ratio of 12-to-one. Only 6 percent of campus administrators identified as conservative to some degree, while 71 percent classified themselves as liberal or very liberal. It’s no wonder so much of the nonacademic programming on college campuses is politically one-sided.”
He simply conducted a national survey, published the results and then called for more “diversity” among college administrators. You can read the original op-ed at:

Meaning that any degrees awarded by this institution are worth less than the paper they are printed on. Middle school drop outs should be considered for employment before anyone with a "degree" from this institution.
How does this faculty response to the professor’s case compare to the faculty response to the Duke LaCrosse team?
He’s been on campus long enough to know that he shouldn’t have been on campus.
"Moreover, free speech and academic freedom is a privilege that academics have fought for over many decades."
He still doesn’t get it. Free speech isn’t a "privilege" it’s a constitutionally protected right. Privileges are abilities granted by some superior authority, rights are inherent in one’s existence.
The money needs to be cut off to these dumps.
Ivory tower problems. It’s sad so many hard-working high-IQ people end up surrounded by leftists that destroy everything they touch. It’s an easy job, mostly government or government-like. Why do they aim so low? These brainy people go so unchallenged and misallocated they end up doing outside work.
We can’t even defund Planned Infanticide. How do we expect to be able to defund these Marxist indoctrination camps?
Let’s hope the ridiculous education-industrial debt-fed bubble pops soon, and takes down these leftist puppy mills
I’m not about to feel sorry for somebody who benefitted and got tenured in a leftist cesspool and is now treading water because his students turned on him.
I’m sorry:
Just what in hell IS a “Diaspora Coalition”...?
I don’t get it.
I went to Berkeley 87-92
I saw the idiots on the left and decided to say “ I love Reagan “
Best move I made. Got lots of them riled up
Then I took on the lgbtqrstyxz crowd. Again super fun
Just tease leftists. They HATE IT !
Didn’t 88 faculty at Duke University sign the news ad criticizing the Duke Lacross team? Never heard a peep of an apology.
The Group of 88 is the term for the professors at Duke University who were signatories to a controversial advertisement in The Chronicle, the university’s student newspaper, on April 6, 2006 condemning the Lacrosse team members whom were later found innocent.
According to liberals, they are the only ones who can practice free speech
The role of the American university as a place of disinterested intellectual investigation is finished, thanks to the poison of Political Correctness and its adherents.
The 12-to-one ratio of liberal to conservative college administrators makes them the most left-leaning group on campus. In previous research, I found that academic faculty report a six-to-one ratio of liberal to conservative professors. Incoming first-year students, by contrast, reported less than a two-to-one ratio of liberals to conservatives, according to a 2016 finding by the Higher Education Research Institute. It appears that a fairly liberal student body is being taught by a very liberal professoriate — and socialized by an incredibly liberal group of administrators.
He felt he was protected by tenure.
He chose poorly.
