That's enough for me - take the public money away
I volunteer.
First, they have to find someone who wants to actually live there in liberal Lamebrainia.....

LOL, when they hire the Conservative Prof they will point to him proudly at every turn.
They will have their “token”

If they were actually PAYING me to be conservative, I’d live in the People’s Republic of Boulder. Politics aside, it’s a nice place, though the Californicators have made it expensive. So they’d have to pay me a LOT.
Very Interesting! Academics pushing for Affirmative Action are always pushing it as an answer to a need for Diversity! on campus. You know, the old..."to fully develop students" argument. Once you've made that "diversity" argument, how do you oppose "diversity" of this type?
The academic ghetto.
“... liberal Lamebrainia.”
Love it.
I’d love to see what this college’s idea of a conservative. They’d probably bring in Lincoln Chaffe.
If he could still do his radio show, Mark Levine would be perfect.
Yup, and it sounds like you have to like tofu. That will cut a whole lot of conservatives out of the loop. Altho there is a steak place on the way out of town.
Funniest statement of the year!!!
His assumption is that the normal “perspective” is hard left.
And anyone who doesn't have that belief is “biased”.
Diversity means that everyone is leftist; and if not you will be fired.
There are hundreds of people who have denied tenure in past few years; just because they didn't fully drink the leftist Koolaid?!?!
Fully qualified people, but they refused to adopt some leftist belief somewhere in their career.
Why do I get the feeling that he would have been put on academic probation if he had dared asked that question about any other professorship reserved for a specific racial/ethnic/sexual minority?
This is a silly idea, not because of Horowitz’s suggestion that it would be a token, but because it doesn’t address the real problem.
Horowitz’s actual program is better - work through the students.
The general distaste for useless fields like gender studies, and those that have become useless in the social sciences and arts, are also strong market factors. The reason these market factors have been of limited use so far is because higher education has been insulated from the market, allowing absurdities to develop. The bubble will burst though.

Nah... There’s tons of great restaurants in Boulder, and nearby. And most of them serve real live MEAT. (Well, OK, not live.)
By the way, the “Alferd Packer” student grill on the CU campus is named after a famous Colorado cannibal. To the best of my knowledge though, they don’t take the term “student grill” literally. :-)
What, no dancing fish at Sushi Zanmei?
According to leftists, the more leftist studies and groups involved, the more “diverse” they are.
...Like some lefty describing a school having 90% hispanic students as being “very diverse”....
I wonder if Professor Limbaugh at the Institute for Conservative Studies would be interested in submitting his resume.

My favorite two in Boulder are Greenbriar Inn (just out of town, on the road towards Lyons), and the Flagstaff.
There are some pretty good places on the Pearl Street mall too, but I don’t recall any names.
But tell me about Sushi Zanmei... any good? I eat raw fish too. I haven’t really met a calorie I didn’t like.
