The...This is actually a quite ridiculous diagnosis. The inescapable fact is that, for most academic disciplines at least (maybe except for English?), it just isn't about "discussing" or seeing things from different viewpoints or with different bias. That is just a simple misunderstanding of what academia or an education is all about.<BR/><BR/>The problem, one suspects, is rather that most scientific disciplines (escept, maybe, e.g. for English?) are inherently anti-dogmatic - in fact, the scientific attitude is constitutively anti-dogmatic itself; you've got nothing to do in a science department if you have trouble letting go of your pet hypotheses in the face of counterevidence. And this attitude seems to sit badly with a general conservative outlook - especially in the US where 'conservative' also seems to correspond statistically with strong religious convictions.<BR/><BR/>The chronicle, however, goes down the wingnut road and offers what is, in effect, a conspiracy theory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-1103266300163779342004-12-17T01:51:00.000-05:002004-12-17T01:51:00.000-05:00In a recent study of professors at Stanford and Be...In a recent study of professors at Stanford and Berkeley, it was found that among the younger professors, across all disciplines, including the hard sciences and engineering, and all professional schools, there were 183 Democrats and 6 Republicans.<br /><br />So why do young professors in the hard sciences and engineering incline so hard to the Democratic side? Why do those even in the professional schools?<br /><br />Could it be because there is something about contemporary Republican philosophy and policy that repulses intelligence of virtually any stripe? Republicans have proudly run as, effectively, anti-intellectual, courting the creationists and other kinds of ignorant wingnuts. Do the Republicans have a right to surprised or shock that intelligence and knowledge is running away from the Republican Party as fast as it can?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-1100069504936138482004-11-10T01:51:00.000-05:002004-11-10T01:51:00.000-05:00Tres interessant, but nothing particularly shockin...Tres interessant, but nothing particularly shocking, at least to present company (I suspect).<br /><br />One wonders what the letters page in the Chronicle will be like in a couple of weeks...Chris Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09883587751218471785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7464708.post-1100018474419904692004-11-09T11:41:00.000-05:002004-11-09T11:41:00.000-05:00Jesse sez...

The best way to control the excesses of academia is to eliminate departments with more political overtones than substantive worth. And of course, more conservatives willing to endure 5+ years of graduate school would help.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
