In that case plant more more olive trees.

Tenure bestows unlimited power upon professors to be used to reward or destroy students. It should be outlawed. Federal assistance to colleges and universities should be reconsidered. Renegade institutions' diplomas should weigh in as a negative in regard to graduates seeking employment with the federal government, both for civilian positions and military service. Student loans should no longer be made for tuitions at renegade institutions. Definition of "renegade": any institution that does not honor in deed the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Also, security personnel on renegade college campuses shall not carry weapons of any sort, lethal or nonlethal.

After I was granted tenure, it allowed me the freedom to come "out of the closet", as it were, and establish my conservative bonafides. That was shocking and infuriating to other members of the faculty. But what was even more infuriating, to them, were the waiting lists for some of my upper-division courses. This led to hosted discussions and debates in front of both faculty and students. In my opinion, granting me tenure fostered an actual learning atmosphere on the campus.

It would be quite difficult to accomplish this, today, because ... for the most part ... college administrations don't care about a learning environment. To them, the student is there to be radicalized.

Wolfie, did you read "The Dean's September", Saul Bellow? You have special political skills if you survived.

I have a Jewish friend who is a professor of Political Science at a University (not US), where the better Muslim students compete for him to oversee their graduate work. Why? Because they want to study the truth.

He is very skilled at expressing complex problems without triggering people.

Just curious-- what subjects did you teach, Wolfie?

Wolfie • 7 years ago

I taught philosophy, from Intro to graduate-level courses.

Sonny's Mom • 7 years ago

Then it must be painful to notice the leftists'-- both young snowflakes' and boomers'-- use of phony facts and false reasoning. I never went beyond Intro to Logic, but I never forgot the first lecture:
"A valid argument must have:
1. A correct form of argument, and
2. True premises"

And of course to pay a good tuition.

I would love to see tenure abolished and replaced with long-term contracts. And the various "identity group" studies departments shut down. As to groups like SJP and MSA, many of its activists are foreign students on visas. Perhaps these visas can be made contingent on refraining from political activities. There is, after all, no right to come here and engage in political activism. Universities won't like this as they just love foreign students, especially if they're paying full freight.

How does that not violate the Constitution? It punishes people not party to an incident without due process. It also violates the Second Amendment along with the Ffith and Sixth.

Amenorrhea:

>>> How does that not violate the Constitution? <<<
Did you, by any chance audit PROFESSOR Obama's class?
Another astute observation from you, clearly an avowed Constitutional Originalist.
My pocket copy of the Constitution, a gift from Sheik Kahn, requested and posted to me during the Democrat Convention unfortunately doesn't have a listing for Congressional disbursement of loans. Where exactly is the Article on "regulations for school loans -- ultimately paid /unpaid?". I read the section in the Constitution about the Natural Rights of Illegal Aliens --- subsection on Global and / extraterrestrial illegal immigrants but, alas, no specifics on loans from our Federal Government.
I've got a suspicion that it must be in some Supreme Court decision interpreting the Commerce Clause. Commerce, that's money, right?

Further irony: Brandeis was himself a devoted Zionist. How long until the SJP and SJWs demand that the school be renamed?

It would be interesting to see how supportive the Palestinians would be to the pretty young girls without a rag on their heads.

Hard Little Machine • 7 years ago

Again, there needs to be a very public and very loud campaign to steer any potential employer away from hiring any grad and any person who's worked there in the past 8 years. Start with contacting the boards of the 5,000 largest corporations in the US followed by the 5,000 largest privately held companies followed by the 5,000 largest foundations, charities and NGO's. Once its reduced to numbers its as easy as a state-level election campaign.

There are conservatives quietly doing their jobs in every industry, working for small and large companies. Larry Elder spoke recently at the Reagan Library, and later discovered that Hollywood studio employees had come to hear him.

Metrona • 7 years ago

Tenure should be abolished. It does not exist in any other profession...for a good reason. The ability to fire an ineffective worker is a great way to keep effective workers.

Metrona • 7 years ago

Please DO NOT donate to Tufts & Brandeis. Please DO NOT hire graduates from Tufts & Brandeis.

Sonny's Mom • 7 years ago

Really? There are small numbers of conservative students at both Tufts and Brandeis. I agree that making donations to leftist schools is a bad idea, but why condemn all graduates, without knowing anything about them?

Its past time to pull the plug on taxpayer subsidies for these anti American cesspools. I don't care if these reeducation camps stay open another minute. They simply have no redeeming values.
What a waste of electricity, money, etc. etc. on these hopelessly brainwashed dolts.

aemoreira1981 • 7 years ago

Brandeis is a mixed bag (because of the unpunished heckling and pressure to disinvited an already-invited Ayaan Hirsi Ali), but Hindley also committed a criminal act. I would have suspended him (unauthorized access). To punish professors, actual denial of opposition views by students with punitive effect would have been needed.

As for Tufts, again, vandalism is not protected by the First Amendment. Tufts did nothing wrong. At either place, if students feel that their rights are violated, they should be suing or making a criminal complaint.

ahad_ha_amoratsim • 7 years ago

" I would have suspended him (unauthorized access)."
Of course you would have.

"As for Tufts, again, vandalism is not protected by the First Amendment"
Something you tend to forget when it is aimed at Jews or Zionists.

aemoreira1981 • 7 years ago

I keep that in mind even then. If there are actual problems, go to the police.

Amenorrhea 1981:
Once again you're not taking your medication or that bargain priced generic stuff that you get from your Middle East mail order chemists is another "bad batch".
Rx:
Give it a rest
Go outside, sniff the pollution
Read a book about North Korea
Replace the mother board in your computer
Take two aspirin and call your shrink in the morning
