Somewhat of a spinoff from the ITT course thread regarding the (sorry) state of higher academia.

The university somehow "forgot" to include at least one student letter which actively supported him (while including, of course, many from SJW's who don't).

I predict a breaking point with academia. And it won't come about just because of any PC backlash, but because of the pending student loan bubble bursting. This will topple the ivory tower with the fallout being a similar kind of corporate welfare collapse we saw in the 2000s.

We believe in diversity! Which has come to mean... everyone must think the same thing.

What a joke.

Diversity = no white males
Anti-racism = anti-white
Tolerance = preferential treatment for certain groups
Unity = Collective rebellion against conservatism

I don't agree with the fact that these teachers have "tenure", but in this particular case I hope Mr. Fink has exactly that.

It's gotten to the point where I don't even really argue with hardcore leftists anymore. And I love to argue.

It's impossible to argue rationally with people who have abandoned all pretense of reason.

There's a book called Pendulum that deals with these generational shifts. I believe the author predicts the shift doesn't occur until 2023

This is because your -and our- rationality and reason is their "man-splaining." Logic is apparently patriarchal to them now.

College campuses are the least diverse place in America.

Here is what I think will happen:

State/Public Research institutions with large endowments at stake will push this SJW stuff as far as it will go. However, college-minded parents (and especially alumni/legacy types) will begin sending their kids to private (sectarian) schools. Donors and boosters of the former schools will also diminish their funding. The corporate welfare state that is the public institution will become too large and collapse; it simply cannot be sustained.

Political correctness is a cannibal that eats its friends and family after it devours its enemies. Liberals need to put an end to it.

Not exactly any proof in the article.

UCLA administration is allegedly trying

Keith Fink fears the university could (sic) an upcoming professional review to help push him out of the institution.

Willing to listen to something a little more concrete but this article is garbage.
