“Advocacy and activism rather than the pursuit of truth and knowledge is being promoted as a way of recruiting desperately needed new students,” Paros wrote
What about education, you dumbass???????
Read the article closely. Paros is one of the good guys, describing what the fool administration did. He is not praising the practice, only pointing out that it didn’t achieve what the fool administration said it would.
We need to be careful not to savage the few remaining good professors along with the many bad ones.
This professor, Mike Paros, is not recommending advocacy and activism as a way to recruit students, he is actually criticizing this approach, albeit mildly. It is surprising that he is still employed at Evergreen. Maybe they’re letting him stay on in an effort to maintain a fig leaf of academic credibility.
