I suppose it’s just another name for “political officer” (commissar).
I just wonder when those guys will be issued Soviet-style uniforms.

One of the most striking aspects of the “woke” domination of our education system is the way anyone who is perceived as a dissenter is likely to be targeted, much as members of a primitive tribe will attack someone from an enemy tribe who happens by. Overwhelmingly, the philosophy in our colleges is not “live and let live” but “agree with us or suffer.”
If you thought the fine arts might be more mellow, think again.
In a pair of cases, music educators have been subjected to academic “herd culling,” as one administrator honestly described his efforts at ridding his school of unwanted faculty members. In both instances, professors were attacked simply because they wrote things that upset some of the irritable “progressives” on campus.
One of the cases arose at Western Michigan University (WMU). Since 1999, Daniel Mattson had worked as a performer and adjunct faculty member in the School of Music, his specialty being the trombone.
He kept his personal life completely separate from his responsibilities at WMU. What no one at the school knew was that he had been raised in the Catholic Church, had spent most of his adult years living a homosexual lifestyle, but had later abandoned that lifestyle and returned to his earlier religious beliefs. In a 2017 book, Mattson had explained his re-conversion. He had also written a number of articles for Catholic and Christian publications.
Those facts about him made no difference to anyone until 2021, when a faculty activist came across his book and immediately started a campaign to have him removed from WMU. Mattson had never talked about his personal life on campus, but that was irrelevant to his enemies. He was now known to be undesirable.

They sow the wind.
They deserve the whirlwind.
I’m not sure they’re going to get what they deserve.
No individual is safe/sovereign v a bad mob/gang/collective.
Inalienable rights?
It amazes me how much time the Universities and students waste on this woke BS. Last time I checked, there are no job openings for professional woketards.
WTF is a "faculty activist"? Is that some kind of title? Do you have to earn a degree in it?
Job openings? “Professional woketards” is the main job description in the Demonrat Party HQ. It’s the #1 KSA.
“agree with us or suffer.”
The Koran teaches that evil belief.....just sayin’
interesting how many people are looking for someone or something to hate. they only need a target. that’s it.

Thanks for posting this article. Heartbreaking to see these things happen to honest professors just trying to live their lives and do their jobs. And for the evil perpetrators to sail right along as if they actually are the morally superior avengers they see themselves as being.
We are becoming South Africa. Widespread White genocide will be practiced against White males, and our rulers and betters will be the Blacks and the hordes of Hispanic males sweeping over the border. White females want this so badly. Look who elected Obama. Look who hates Trump. White females cuck their husbands with Black male lovers. White females demand all this gender switching for their White sons. Look at all the Black-on-White mob beatdowns happening almost daily. It’s only OK for Black kids to be angry and full of testosterone. Nobody else. It all starts and ends with the unhinged White female in the bedroom and in the boardroom and in the schoolroom.
Sorry to tell everybody this, but rock music has always been utterly dominated by gays and pedophiles. As much as I love Pink Floyd, I know what makes them so great:
They were architects, very scientifically minded, and had endless time and money to experiment with all of the coolest equipment available. And what earned them such license? Two words: “Arnold Layne.” Seven albums before “Dark Side of the Moon,” before they had any albums at all, they had a hit single about a cross-dresser with more than a splash of sympathy.
(If you’re not familiar with their history, their initial leader, Syd Barrett, went seriously crazy between their first and second albums. They had had two Beatlesesque top-ten hits in 1967 with him, got an album deal, and released an utterly bizarre first album, Piper at the Gates of Dawn. Once he became too mentally ill, they created six very experimental albums until they were ready to release the practical results of their experiments, Dark Side of the Moon. I honestly don’t think there was anything cynical on Pink Floyd’s part vis-a-vis homosexuality: Arnold Layne represented an actual person from Syd’s childhood, and struck Syd as an intriguingly tragic character.)
“Arnold Layne/ had a strange/ hobby, collecting clothes.
Moonshine/ washing line
They suit him.
In the hall/ hung a tall/ mirror.
Distorted view/ See through/ Baby blue
He’s done it!”

Heck, our military academies now have political officers. And yes, any military individual accepting that position has no morals or courage. They are slime...as are the “leaders” of our now corrupt and increasingly inept military.
They have them. Whatever tactical gear they wear when they are out “protesting” with their clubs, bike locks, and firearms.
Amen. College-educated white women are leading American culture right now. They love death of the unborn and hate white men.
Unfortunately, they have the most influence on their kids because men have been emasculated.
LOL True true!
They should be held personally responsible. I can’t imagine anything in the university’s bylaws that would require ideological purity.
And you can bet that these administrators have in the past written and spoken about the necessity of academic freedom and freedom of speech.
Only personal responsibility will put an end to such abuse.
