A report released by the California Association of Scholars after two years of study:
"A CRISIS OF COMPETENCE- The Corrupting Effect of Political Activism
in the University of California"
http://www.nas.org/images/documents...ign=CAS+report+press+release&utm_medium=email
1. A sharp increase in faculty members who self-identify as radicals. This has led to one-party academic departments, such as at Berkeley, where left-of-center faculty members outnumber their right-of-center colleagues in Political Science by a ratio of 28:2, in English 29:1 and in History 31:1.
2. Curricula that promote political activism, in violation of UC regulations. Critical Race Studies at UCLAs School of Law, for example, aims to be a training ground for advocates committed to racial justice theory and practice.
3. Departments that erase the study of Western tradition. History majors are not required to take a survey course in Western civilization on any of the nine University of California undergraduate campuses.
4. Suppression of free speech. Speakers at UC Berkeley who have been shouted down by protesters include Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, and Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day OConnor.
Yet...there is no revelation here...
a. Those of us on the Right will recognize just what we have been saying for some time, and
b. those on the Left will merely shrug.
