I say that the reification of the societal superstructure -- in so far as a patriarchal landscape can have a societal superstructure -- mandates the teaching that a post-colonial nexus which can only be alleviated by a post-Marxian praxis.

Damn. You're good!

<The list of changes gives the school two years to have at least two “faculty members of color” in every single department who are “engaging in critical race and ethnic studies scholarship with a social justice emphasis.”

I’m an academic. I’m black. I’ll be damned if some undergrads (or even grad students) are going to tell me what I have to teach and do research in. Do they realize how that demand sounds? It’s as if minorities can’t work in any areas other than those that have to do with social justice. And, news flash, kids, it’s gonna be hard as hell to find 2 minorities for each department. Ain’t gonna happen; there just aren’t that many minorities, evenly distributed across disciplines, and assuming that they don’t include Asians (the forgotten minority) in their demands.

Jeesh. I thought we left this stuff in the ‘60’s and ‘70’s.
