    Well, who woulda thunk?

    Try to say this with a straight face: “My university teaches all students to look at problems from every angle, to understand the other person’s point of view, and to use these multiple perspectives to come up with new, original viewpoints.”

    Mind you, if you can’t say this with a straight face, you’re not going to university, you’re going to a trade school.

      Oh liberal conservative moderate dog-raving bad, it doesn’t matter, professors have been programming students ever since the University of Bologna was founded in 1089. Why – there simply is not enough undergraduate class time to discuss, assign, evaluate, etc – multiple perspectives. I have some experience with this, as I do try to create those kinds of classes; while students pretend to like them, they always say there is too much material to synthesize to gain any reasonable perspective in a 10-week course.

      I agree with them.

    True situation even worse, because liberals generally more likely to whinge

    CAMPUS ALERT!

    Word in the back alley is a major, insane initiative/diktat issued from Johnson Hall. Bespeaks financial and political discomfort, if not panic.

    HuB,
    Go watch Dear White People on Netflix. You should binge the whole thing ASAP. Just do it.

      don’t know the gig, but I’ll maybe check it out.

      Sounds like an idea for a series of series. “Dear ——— People”

    So, folks whose views are embraced and dominant at all levels of the federal government, the majority of states, and that control the dominant cable news network “feel disrespected” on college campuses?

    Buck up, snowflake.

    Also, clicking through to the “data” we find that essentially there is no basis to reach any statistical conclusions. But it is OK because UOM is a member in good standing of the “Kristoff liberal self-loathing club”, only too ready to embrace conservative gaslighting even on the strength of statistically-meaningless self reporting.
