American universities have become completely leftist in outlook, something that is depriving students of both knowledge and wisdom. Moreover, they intend to stay that way, as demonstrated by a single question they ask applicants seeking teaching positions, a question that will stop the process dead in its tracks when the applicant is a conservative.
In 2006, I moved to Europe to become a university lecturer. I was one of three co-founders and the chair of the art department at a school for game developers in the Netherlands. In that role, I hired and supervised our teachers, developed the curriculum, helped promote the school publicly, and most importantly, taught a lot of classes (computer graphics, anatomy, and research writing, among others).
My first rule was “never lie to the students.” This rule had four practical components:
(1) The curriculum had to be practical in the context of helping the students become working professionals.
(2) Teachers would never pretend to know something they didn’t.
(3) Teachers would grade without bias (positive or negative).
(4) Any failures or omissions would be corrected as soon as they were discovered.
