On the Campus
Honestly, I thought the matter was settled. Judging people and giving them preferential or detrimental treatment based on the color of their skin is wrong. Segregating people and providing opportunities to different groups based on race is bad. I don’t know how it happened, but one is apt to be called a “racist” for saying…
There he is again. Marc Parlange is in the Boston Globe stumping for the Democrats’ biggest legislative priority with “Build Back Better can pull Rhode Island out of the pandemic — if we invest in the Blue Economy.” Why did the University of Rhode Island hire a lobbyist and ideologue instead of a leader? Yeah, sure, the…
A network of Democrat and progressive legal teams has developed over the past two decades, and last year it arguably succeeded in frauding Joe Biden into the White House. Now Harvard University is turning on the spicket to create more, as Mark Hemingway reports for RealClearInvestigations: Reporting the launch of the Election Law Clinic in April,…

He expressed concern about liberal indoctrination in the college, so the alumni relations folks found a few non-radical professors from among its 1,695 faculty members to talk with the potential donor.

At Ivy League Yale University, according to Mike LaChance on Legal Insurrection, administrators outnumber faculty and match undergraduate students one for one. This development was predictable. The government poured money into the industry. Competent faculty members were already not difficult to find, so the money was able to go elsewhere, and administrators making decisions about unneeded…
If her analysis in the news is essentially Democrat spin, what does she teach in the classroom? Schiller also said Biden brings a restoration of “stability” and “predictability” to the presidency: “He seems to me to have a moral fortitude where he is really certain that what he’s trying to do is the right thing…
I’ll admit that WBUR’s tweet calling the campaign for mayor of Boston on Tuesday caught my eye for reasons of humorous wordplay: RACE CALL: Michelle Wu (@wutrain) makes history, as the first woman and person of color elected to lead the city of Boston.

Mike Stanton is a former Providence Journal reporter who now teaches journalism at the University of Connecticut. He’s also something of a case study in how Twitter has exposed the ideological nature and lack of objective intellectual rigor in journalism these days.
