Missing Link

Here are some of the events in academia that the DI has decided to ignore this week in favor of hard-hitting news:

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education has posted on its website that Amherst has suddenly decided vandalism and censorship no longer adhere to the university's mission. Much like UIUC where its own Senate was happy to vote yes to free-speech suppression, UMASS watched with glee while copies of the conservative paper 'The Minuteman" were stolen, and worse simply for criticizing a member of the student government (which FIRE reported was the very same individual stealing the paper copies). And much like the IL counterpart, it took the veto action of the administration (in the IL case, it was Richard Herman) to stop the resolution. But still like the IL case, the crime had already been committed.

Meanwhile, over at Virginia Tech, where thanks to indifference and incompetence of its administrators, thirty-two students received their Certification of Completion by the undertaker, their new all-but-diverse diversity program has been tabled after being outed as an Orwellian oath to academic groupthink. So far, in fact, that it has prompted a state bill to combat said indoctriversity. Naturally, the Chronicle of Higher Education calls any critic to the AAUP-driven status quo, even FIRE, as "conservative."
