I teach at a university in the middle of the state.

What do you teach?

Upper level undergrad and some grad courses in the traditional liberal
arts.

Uh oh, one of the brainwashers!

As you know, ignorance is being worn as a badge of honor by a good
many Americans, including certain beverage-based political
organizations.

Glad to hear there's still some who are committed to edumacating our
yungins.


Through no fault of mine, we have a very high percentage of our students
going on to receive doctorates in the arts and sciences.
Smart is encouraged; stupid is not. :)

That's a good thing for our country. I hope it continues to be in
vogue at your institution and a good many others.

God forbid, however, they become part of the lame stream media!
They'll instanty become left-wing advocates of socialism rather than
trained professionals. It's unavoidable, you know.


Once in a while, we are the subject of "pressure" from outside
organizations that want us to reign in academic and student freedoms. So
far, student and faculty activism have been able to beat back the admirers
of Ned Lud. We've had some really interesting protests in the last decade
and a half since I've been here, including one in which the students
forced the administration to pay janitors a living wage and form a union.


Hee hee... now you've really done it... you mentioned unions and a living
wage in a positive light.
That should make you about an even dozen enemies.

I don't think it is being enforced anymore, maybe because the chalkings
aren't as foul or personal as they used to be. It's pretty popular at
many New England educational institutions

I'm a liberal arts grad, U of Hawaii '71.

Paul, have you ever heard this statement?

"College teaches you how to make proper decisions on disputed
arguments."

Another one I remember: "College teaches you that if you don't know
the answer, you know how to get the answer."

Learned that my first year from one of my professors.

Makes sense to me.
