I’ve been to UC recently and have witnessed the card-table staffed by the College Republicans sitting lonely and forlorn and detested amid the teeming, pierced mob of pasty, pudgy, unwashed undergrads who yearn for nothing more than public funding for their next abortion. I’ve talked to professors and been astonished at their boiling venom that reflexively spews towards anyone to the right of Trotsky. I’ve seen the placards posted on your walls and bulletin boards and read the announcements of guest speakers and lecture series by the yowlingest avatars of the Left. I’ve parked in that parking structure where the elevator exits at a communist bookstore festooned by posters of Che and Mao.
Are we talking about the same University?
Yes it is....and I’ve been around UCB for 40 years and it is still nothing like the 60s and 70s....you go to Univ Wisonsin Madison, or Columbia and you see worse.....I’m not holding it as some bastion of right wing conservatism, but if you mingle in the sciences and law and business etc, they don’t care about that crap anymore....of course they will have some....it is still the Bay Area.....
.......that doesn’t negate the fact of the rankings as #1 public university and more top 10 grad disciplines in the country......you can see me later posts.....have a great day.....
