The end of Duke.
Why am I not surprised. Be they judges or educators, liberals always put their personal agendas ahead of their responsibilities.
Curtis should be removed, but then I am still waiting to hear that the fake indian from Colorado has been removed. So i guess that wont be the answer.
However the best way to fight this is for people to stop sending their kids to a college where their academic achievements are judged by how closely their political views follow those of their so-called educators.
I would be shocked if these student don't milk Duke and its faculty for a few million. Their behavior was disgraceful. I would not let my child go to Duke if they gave us a full scholarship.
Gotta admit it couldn't happen to a more deserving place. Every Duke alumni I've ever come in contact with in my lifetime was a certified jerk.
Kim Curtis--Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science,specializes in political theory with particular concentration in contemporary continental work and feminist theory. She has written Our Sense of the Real: Aesthetic Experience and Arendtian Politics. She has also published articles on multicultural education, ethical debates among feminists over new reproductive technologies, and the early women's liberation movement. She is currently at work on a book on the feminist movement in the United States that examines the relationship between theory and practice.
Boy, I want my son in her class (/sarcasm)
I heard that Duke's enrollment this year was 25% DOWN from last years'. The people vote.
A Visiting Assistant Professor has no tenure, and can be removed simply by not sending her a contract for next year. No judicial process or review is necessary.
No doubt this professor is radioactive, at this point. But that is precisely what Duke should do. Let her sue if she likes. She has no tenure and Duke has no obligation to hire a Visiting Professor for another year.
" two Duke students reported that (African-American) North Carolina Central students shouted at them and then knocked the male student unconscious when they were picking up food at a local restaurant,"
This case is exposing America's underbelly.
"I heard that Duke's enrollment this year was 25% DOWN from last years'. "
Applications were down, not enrollment.
Duke's behavior, as has many other colleges since sometime in the 1970's has fallen so far short of that mark, and indeed to such perversion and corruptions of morality that would in other years be criminally actionable that it is insane. Devoid of sanity. Loco, a crazy parent!
I hope your figure is correct and I hope it goes down to 50%.
The reason I ask is that I was talking this week to a retired administrator for Duke who is still pretty much in touch with the administration (and is embarassed as heck about this whole thing - he went so far as to telephone Duke and tell them to SHUT UP when this whole thing began) . . . HE told me that enrollment and admissions were actually UP this year.
Does anybody have any hard numbers?
Ping to 18. You got numbers?
Oh goody. Put me down for a copy. Probably better than Ambien.
