Sounds like they are getting a taste of that “...sacrifice for what you believe in...” mantra that is so popular with the left lately. I am sure they expect it will all work out.

What, parents don’t want to pay $50K a year so that their kids can learn to be Social Justice Warriors? GASP! Who would have ever guessed?

“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???????

Heh, really?
No one actually respects that joke of a university anyway.
Ivy League universities soon to follow.

State school. As of a couple of years ago tuition was about $8,500 a year.

They just need to recruit more minority students to make up the difference.

There are so many other “institutions” of higher learning that I hope this happens to as well.

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.

Social Justice? A term always misapplied by Leftists.

Not "Social" & Not "Just"

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.

Yes, it looks like whitey and other non-approved persons (and their tuition money) hit the road.

Why waste big money on an education in reactionary politics?
You can learn that hanging out at Starbucks.
