He fires Paglia, his college backslides into the mediocre community college type school it was before. It was Paglia who made it. After being fired from Bennington, Paglia could not get a job at a prestigious university. She taught prisoners and welfare mothers before getting a job in Philly. It was her books and int’l fame that put this school into a whole different category of educational institution.

He’d be crazy to get rid of her.

I have no reason to doubt you, but I also think he is expressing his own convictions, not just doing what is expedient.

Pendelums always swing both ways, maybe we are starting to see some sanity return to higher education.

Camille Paglia is The Woman.

I've emailed her a couple of times, expressing my admiration.

Heard the head of Turning Point on the car radio last week.
He said Trump signed an order cutting Fed funds to schools, not supporting free speech.

He gave a recent example of how it is helping.
(A school in Indiana???)
