Perhaps The Days Of Blank Checks For Every Crazy Academic With A Grudge Is Ending?
Probably not, but making it uncomfortable for academia's anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-market economics proclivities is always a good thing. Georgetown Gets a Title VI Wakeup Call
Rep. George Holding (R-N.C.) won't be retiring from the House until next year, but he's already left his mark on academe. This past tax day, he sent Education Secretary Molly DeVos a letter objecting to the Duke-UNC Consortium for Middle East Studies' (CMES) use of federal Title VI funds for the anti-Semitic performance of a Palestinian rapper at UNC in March. A flurry of communications between Department of Education (DoE) and UNC officials resulted, most notably the ominous August DoE letter detailing CMES' myriad violations of Title VI regulations. Almost overnight, the higher education lobby suffered an emotional meltdown, House Democrats expressed their "concern" by demanding a raft of DoE documents, and academics fretted that public support might become contingent on performance rather than privilege.As Lenin (or Marx) famously never said..."The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them." Maybe we are finally noticing that unqualified support for the rabid America-Haters in our universities is not a very good idea. The good thing is that they are , in the main, cowards, and will fight only when in a crowd. So cut them out of the herd and end their funding, one anti-Semite at a time. So much of this funding can be controlled by the various departments (thanks to Chevron vs. NRDC), so a chief executive who isn't a dog-eating America hater might be able to do some real damage to the embedded progressives in our ivory towers.

We can use their own rules against them tied to the public funds they themselves have wanted.
They've written restrictive rules for everyone else, and put themselves at the end of a revenue stream that can be cut off by the politicians elected by others.

House Democrats expressed their "concern" by demanding a raft of DoE documents, and academics fretted that public support might become contingent on performance rather than privilege.
Yo, this is the "performance" we as a public should expect: don't go suppressing views you don't like. Don't set up Star Chamber proceedings to convict class, race and gender enemies. Don't let phony-baloney administrative positions proliferate. Get rid of academic ghettos that promote a single position. Stop the mobbing of unpopular colleagues. Quit the obsession with identity.

Imagine a world, where we talked about real welfare reform.
Not the one that gives dozens of dollars a month to unwed mothers, but the form of welfare that gives billions of dollars a year to privileged college kids to go to enormously wealthy universities.

Interestingly enough, the White House sent a representative over to the Pro-Life Summit after the March to talk about choking off public funds for, among other things, abortion, racist groups, and other 'liberal' causes.
Very illuminating.

How can one instruct a child in the way that is informed and profitable when you actively exclude the one source of objective, verifiable moral instruction from their learning by dictate?
A man can not teach you morality because they do not possess any morals. Man can only offer opinion, and in most cases opinion which they themselves do not follow or adhere to and which they have not investigated in the least.
You'd find it easier to teach Calculus to a child from whom you'd withheld a basic arithmetic book.
Our entire education system instructs, but it does not teach.

Academia is in terminal decline. Factors that will cause it to collapse in no particular order:
Falling birthrate means less overall students
Rise of vocational track means less share of smaller population
Rising tuition makes less economic sense
So far, it's keeping these trends at bay by importing rich Chinese kids, but that gravy train is about to end. China's in a bad way and the precious princes are going to disappear.
And then things will get interesting.

They go there, ask for the schools to indulge their every whim... and the schools do it. Douglas Murray has the chilling examples, of college kids screaming at administrators, and DEMANDING they not use their hands when responding to them... because hand gestures are threatening to the poor unfortunate children.
And the administrators comply. They are forced to mouth words the kids demand, and they have to avoid any sudden movements or eye contact that could be considered a threat of violence.
So yeah, no, I know some of y'all work on colleges, but the whole system needs to be blowed up. Blowed up good.

I think the MFM is exagerating that shit. All those stories about the student protests don't tell you that it is usually 4 or 5 so-called loudmouth students and they are helped by individuals off campus who are not students. But yes,l the administrators sometimes capitulate to them to satisfy their loud mouth and they do it to the detriment of the rest of the college population.

I think the MFM is exagerating that shit. All those stories about the student protests don't tell you that it is usually 4 or 5 so-called loudmouth students and they are helped by individuals off campus who are not students. But yes,l the administrators sometimes capitulate to them to satisfy their loud mouth and they do it to the detriment of the rest of the college population.

Administer the test, and if you have N places, take the top N candidates. And if that pool is insufficiently diverse, tough. Try harder next time.

11 This will be seen as anti-intellectualism. In fact, it is common sense.
====
An intellectual is one who feels that saying/writing a thing therefore accomplishes a thing, that elegantly phrased bullshit is the equivalent to truth, and is unconcerned when the implementation of his pet project results in the impoverishment or death of millions.
An intellectual is not necessarily smart and is CERTAINLY not necessarily wise.

Agreed. Prospective faculty in the sciences, especially at big name universities, know that tenure depends on their ability to bring in grants. For many of them, lecturing is simply not a priority.
I see no reason not to have the best lecturers provide lectures online, and let those who want to devote themselves strictly to research do so.

"Truth be told, hip-hop has never been respected by the Grammys. Black music has never been respected by the Grammys to the point that it should be."

Here's the nice thing about online coursework: it selects for people who are motivated. Most of the kids will just fart around, and that's OK. They're plucking themselves out of the candidate pool, and at no expense to the taxpayer (or mom and dad, for that matter).
So do they REALLY want to learn something, or just mark time and party for four years? Let's find out.

But for lower division undergrad labs, virtual experiments would probably suffice, and certainly would be cheaper (and safer). But at some point a prospective scientist has to belly up to a lab bench, for the experience, and to develop laboratory technique.

Exactly, just like you don't want to have the pilot on the intercom saying "Well folks, this is exciting for me, the first time I actually flown one of these things outside the simulator..." you don't want the guy in the lab, while deadly fumes are filling the room, thinking there's supposed to be a reset button around here somewhere.

Just this past week on radio news a school district ( don't remember where, maybe NJ) was stopping class rankings so as not to disparage the lower part or the class. I think starting with 8th grade then going up every year.

you don't want the guy in the lab, while deadly fumes are filling the
room, thinking there's supposed to be a reset button around here
somewhere.
Way back in undergraduate chemistry, we were supposed to heat some organic mixture (I can't remember exactly what, but it included an alcohol).
This was supposed to be done by placing the covered beaker containing the mixture into a larger beaker containing water, so as to gently heat it. Someone didn't get the memo, and put the uncovered smaller beaker directly over a Bunsen burner. Naturally, the fumes ignited into a fireball.
The grad student running the lab hadn't a clue what to do, so we vacated the lab. That was a memorable day, I can tell you.

In the last 4-5 years, I have included a few PSA in my junior/senior classes about going to college for education, not indoctrination, and certainly not abuse.
Last year, one of my former students emailed me to say that she had planned to minor in Spanish but her FIRST DAY of class, the prof went off on the class for being the reason Trump is president. To freshman, most of whom had only recently reached voting age. Luckily her advisors (mentor and academic) helped her switch into a Spanish literature class, which she enjoyed, but she's no longer minoring in it.

So, question for the old'uns.
In the movie Holiday Inn there is a scene early in the movie where Bing Crosby goes into the dressing room of his fiance and notices that the hooks on the back of her dress are not hooked in the correct order and the hook at the top is unhooked. Soon thereafter Fred Astaire goes into her dressing room and notices the same thing about the hooks.
SPOILER ALERT
Is there something about the hooks that suggests that she is not committed or that she is romantically flighty since she dumps both Crosby and Astaire?
Thanks
*I deliberately avoided asking if it meant she was a slut or a whore because I kind of like the movie and did not want to get into that or what the modern day version would have had Crosby and Astaire doing to her in the dressing room.

People are seriously upset about the rap singing biz these days, because literally anybody with a home computer can make a "rap song," post it to spotify and itunes, and it'll get thousands, or even millions of listens.
No need for a record industry. It's especially galling to the so-called professionals, that Youtube "stars" are invading their money train.

Undergrad labs are generally made pretty idiot-proof, but a synthesis laboratory is intrinsically a pretty dangerous place. I put out nine fires (only one in my lab, I hasten to add), wore a respirator twice (in both cases, because I wasn't about to breathe the shit that was burning - muy toxic), and put out the fires on two people who'd set themselves ablaze.
This was supposed to be done by placing the covered beaker containing the mixture into a larger beaker containing water, so as to gently heat it. Someone didn't get the memo, and put the uncovered smaller beaker directly over a Bunsen burner. Naturally, the fumes ignited into a fireball.
The grad student running the lab hadn't a clue what to do, so we vacated the lab. That was a memorable day, I can tell you.

That was what happened to one of the two people who'd set themselves ablaze. I was the grad student (actually, still an undergrad) in the first course I ever taught. The student tried to blow out the fire in the beaker, thereby dousing himself with burning methanol. But I didn't freak; I just threw him on the ground and covered his head (his hair was on fire) with a spare lab coat.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I do volunteer work with a student organization at a local university and that said university commissioned a study of the incoming freshman freshperson first year student "male" population.
Among the findings were "problematic hyper-masculine beliefs" (e.g., 'Heterosexual presentation', 'Self-reliance', 'Winning', and 'Emotional control') and "only seven percent consider themselves 'liberal' or 'very liberal'".

Afternoon all.
China coronavirus 'spreads before symptoms show'
In humans, the incubation period - during which a person has the disease, but no symptoms yet - ranges from between one and 14 days, officials believe.
Without symptoms, a person may not know they have the infection, but still be able to spread it.

And that's what I said on Friday. Sealed up in those planes, everyone on those planes could have it.

While, get this, at the same time in the classrooms, they're feeding your little precious the line about how sex assault and domestic violence is all about the patriarchy holding you down. Meanwhile, in the locker room, Large Marge is literally holding you down.

The second time, perhaps. I'm mostly teasing.
But in general, it was an implication of sexual interest or an intimate relationship if a person adjusted the clothing of a person of the opposite sex. Check out all the tie-adjusting and coat-straightening between couples in old movies.
So both men noticing the hook was a tell that they're both interested in her, at the very least.

You can bet they wish they could. If there was a point where they could conceivably say "We're done" it would be after the defense team's presentation is finished and then they skip over the rest of it until the final votes. But they're probably stuck with showing the whole thing.

Last year, one of my former students emailed me to say that she had planned to minor in Spanish but her FIRST DAY of class, the prof went off on the class for being the reason Trump is president. To freshman, most of whom had only recently reached voting age. Luckily her advisors (mentor and academic) helped her switch into a Spanish literature class, which she enjoyed, but she's no longer minoring in it.

If you were a passenger in the 70s forward your pilot probably logged many hours behind a B-52 before going commercial.

Yeah, he's a weasel. Any perspective or action on the part of a Democrat only matters in the context of what the polls say.
One imagines Goodstein being questioned about Satan.
Carlson: "Well, Richard, what do you think about Satan?"
Goodstein: "He's doing a killer job, Tucker. In the 24-50 demographic he's leading Virtue by 12 points. You can't argue with that. They think his policies are great. He's got the election wrapped up."

"vagrants panhandling at intersections."
There is an intersection in town that always has one or more people standing there with signs asking for "Help Please - God Bless". In that general vicinity there may be six or more positioned here and other.
On that same corner is a big car wash that many days is advertising "Help Wanted" on their digital sign.

My man. Bring back standardized tests, and this time
make them the sole criterion of admission. I don't give a crap about
"outside activities" or anything like that. Administer the test, and if
you have N places, take the top N candidates. And if that pool is
insufficiently diverse, tough. Try harder next time.
Posted by: Deplorable Jay Guevara at January 26, 2020 12:46 PM (YqDXo)
This is only part of the problem. Academia has become cartelized: you can only start an accredited college if you have the OK from the system, and you have to do and accept what the others require: Tuition, certification, and public grants.
If the system was a free market, the skyrocketing tuitions would cause other institutions to open up to make some of that profit, but they don't.
All academia is of the same stamp, and there is a choke on any upstarts. Even private colleges are forced to obey if they want federal and state monies.
I don't care what the admission standards are, but there needs to be an end to all the colleges being standardized and having their risk of economic failure (because they can't actually teach) taken away by guaranteed support from the government.

Anybody mentioned that the FBI released a bunch of emails yesterday under a FOIA request that show Strzok and Page and a bunch of other familiar characters discussing the Seth Rich murder?

233 I don not care too much about the panhandlers that live outside.
It is inconvenient but they do not seem to be getting something big over
us. Same with idiots encouraging them to reside in public parks.
Disagree. They're parasites. They don't work, and yet they manage to
live. How? Some combination of handouts and crime would seem to be the
answer.

+++There was an older, white-haired woman who lived in a tent on a corner very near to me. There is a city park directly across the street from where she "lives". This park has public restrooms. My DiL one morning saw this woman defecating in the park right next to the sidewalk, for all the world to see. She also smokes like a chimney, there hasn't been a time when I have driven by that she doesn't have a cigarette lit.

Not suggesting that I want the beggars, differentiating between those that stand by a freeway to get cash and those that stay in their subsidized housing to get it from the gov.
As for the cities that encourage urban adventures that is their fault and they are going to have to fix it sometime.

the pro-diversity crowd seems to get murdered on a regular basis in the Scandi countries.
Ann Barnhardt had one up a few years ago about a cute Swedish open borders gal who was brutally raped and murdered by an "immigrant."

Saw a bit of CBS "News" this morning with an up close story of some hip/hop/rap star who is supposed to win big at the grammies tonight. Guy is still doing the same schlock as 20 years ago on MTV. Cars bouncing up and down, half naked sistahs twerking, etc. Story included the sad fact that one of his musical collaborators was "murdered" outside his own clothing store. They left out that the crime probably committed by some like-colored drive-by gang shooters. But did make a big deal that Mr. Rappers work is motivated by love.
