As a Vanderbilt grad (1982) I have been terribly embarrassed as to the direction of my alma matter in the last 20 years. There was a time I thought the administration was douchie, but had balls. Now it’s just douchie and trying to be a bigger university of sensitivity and political correctness than Brown U.
“As a Vanderbilt grad (1982) I have been terribly embarrassed as to the direction of my alma matter in the last 20 years . . .”
I feel the same way about the University of Virginia. We now have a President whose academic credentials include coauthoring a study with her friend Elizabeth Warren. Things were so bad she was actually fired a little over a year ago. The faculty, students, and national media screamed and the governing board caved under the pressure so she was put back in charge. Thomas Jefferson’s once great University has quickly become another progressive indoctrination camp funded by the taxpayer.
The saddest thing about the firing episode was the way Virginia’s Republican governor refused to back the board. Then again why should I expect any GOP politician to stand up to the tyranny of the left.
