So the dean is practicing projection, like all good demo-commies do. Accuse your opponents of what you yourself are doing.

It isn’t her face that makes me blanch.

It is what is contained within.

She is currently Dean of Arts and Letters, San Diego State University.

“The most alarming ROIs are those for fine arts degrees. The worst program in the UNC system for ROI, as calculated by Cooper, is the “fine and studio arts” major at UNC-Pembroke, where students with that major (including dropouts) earn $311,102 less than if they never went to college at all. And, even more amazing, when only graduates are counted, they earn a dismal $444,577 less than if they never went to college. In other words, completing the program hurts one’s future income more than dropping out!”

Let the Buyer Beware!

“Almost all students cite getting a better job as a primary reason for attending college,” writes Preston Cooper in the opening paragraph of his new study, entitled Is College Worth It? A Comprehensive Return on Investment Analysis. He refers to an annual survey by UCLA that found that the percentage of incoming freshmen who state that “getting a better job” is a “very important reason for attending college” rose dramatically from 67.8 percent in 1976 to 87.9 percent in 2012.

If this overwhelming emphasis on career training is the case—and there is no reason to doubt it—then higher education has a big problem, according to the findings of Cooper’s study. For he discovered that the return on investment (ROI) for an alarmingly high percentage of college degree programs is either negative or negligible. Higher education is simply not meeting expectations for too many young people who choose to start their adult lives by attending college.

Cooper defines ROI as “the increase in lifetime earnings minus the costs of college,” and examined nearly 30,000 bachelor’s degree programs. And “over a quarter of programs have negative ROI,” he wrote.

To be sure, that means that students who pursue degrees in those programs are most likely worse off financially than if they had never attended college at all but had instead pursued other paths coming out of high school.

True, but the face and her hair give you a hint of what’s in there.

Except it’s not the conservative ideology that she is describing.

As is usual with leftists she is projecting the philosophy of the left onto conservatives.

Crazies like her belong in a looney bin, not teaching in a college.

They set up a straw man, knock it down, then strut around like victorious peacocks.

“SDSU’s dean of the College of Arts and Letters, Professor Monica Casper, tweeted Dec. 1: “Just so we’re clear on the Right’s agenda: racism good, abortion bad, money good, women bad, capitalism good, sustainability bad, stupidity good, science bad, power good, equality bad, white people good, nonwhite people bad. Stench, indeed.”

On Twitter, she also criticized the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal: “No mercy, no justice – white supremacy wins again.”

Oct. 14, 2014 from an essay...

“Make love, not war. Social movements often emerge from justifiable frustration and outrage, and anger fuels many of us who do progressive work. I’ve spent an entire lifetime operating from a place of anger and resentment. Yet living and acting from the vantage of rage is not healthy. Indeed, it can be destructive to those who rage and hate, whether we work for good or for the Right. Anger makes us reactive and also prevents us from listening, thinking, and planning. We react instead of strategize, strike out instead of look within, fracture instead of connect. What if we acted from a place of love—love for each other, for a better future, and for ourselves? As Darnell Moore and I have written (forthcoming in Ada), “Lovelessness is the epicenter of oppression… love in the time of racism is a radical act that can lead to broader political/social formations and solidarities…”
By...Monica J. Casper

Liberals...in the end, raging hate filled hypocrites who can not understand, let alone control or temper their emotions.
Reason and intellect, thought itself, is unknown to them.
In the end? NO! They are so in the beginning! Raging hate filled hypocrites! That’s all they are, that’s all they can be.

What a shame. Aside from the affliction, the extreme mental illness of liberalism (curable ONLY by an act of G-D) she seems intelligent and industrious. Too bad that raging blind hatred informs her every breath and permeates every atom of her being.

In the words of the venerable MISTER T, “I pity the fool...”
