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).

One allegedly accuses him of using racial slurs – without the context that he was teaching a class on the First Amendment and whether they were protected.

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.

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

College campuses are the least diverse place in America.

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.
