The ad hoc committee, made up of three USM faculty members and a Bowdoin College professor, ended up issuing a report in June intended to improve the climate on campus for minorities. One recommendation was that USM review videotaped lectures for "accuracy and integrity" before students see them. But that raised an outcry from faculty, who called it "an assault on academic freedom."

Not quite ready - yet - for such censorship at USM.

However, Morales felt Broida stated the information as truth and that his remarks implied that black students at USM were not as smart at white students.
Next up a prof told Morales that jumping off a bridge wouldn't hurt him and he took this as the truth and did it.

"There is much public debate about the differences in intelligence test scores in various populations. However, Morales felt Broida stated the information as truth and that his remarks implied that black students at USM were not as smart at white students"

Almost 100 years of data have consistently substantiated that Blacks, on the average, have an I.Q. of 85 (one standard deviation below the norm) compared to European Whites who have, of course, an average I.Q. of 100. Before anyone feels proud of being a European White remember also the following: Asians average I.Q. is 108, Jews average I.Q. is 117 (one standard deviation above the norm) and siblings vary on average by 12 I.Q. points.

No matter what the protest, no matter what the censure, no matter what the belief these are the facts. Post-modernists and liberals in general are the only ones who dispute this. There is no data inconsistent with the above findings.
