CU’s Affiirmatve Action Program for Conservatives has now become a Welfare Program for Conservatives, paying them NOT to work.
What’s Sedition Caucus going to say?
On Jan 6 was Eastman wisely positioned UPWIND of Ghouliani or was he there for the smell of winning?
I think it’s really pretty damn funny all those Benson-Rand invisible-fist lovin’ wingnutters, . . . er, I mean “conservatives” (my bad CHB) . . . who would continue to
endowwaste their money on “free-market” indoctrination and patriot-insurrection classes that no one enrolls for???. . . but, yeah, Eastman’s an enormously huge douche and now even an obvious public embarrassment for that Ganahl ilk.
Adios, future CCU constitutional law professor moron!
I think the marketplace of ideas has fully extended its middle finger to John Eastman for the last time necessary. CU students are taking a pass. Conservative Thought 101 ? How mind numbingly drab is that shit when there's offerings at American Universities like Invented Languages, Klingon and Beyond, The Vampire in Literature and Cinema, The Phallus, The Simpsons and Philosophy ?
The History of Electronic Dance Music ? I'm in.
Well,duh.
Just another example of how extremely well conservatives use their outrage messaging machinery and how high administrative types will jump when they hear liability or discrimination in the air with the threats of diminishing donations.
Let’s replace Mark Kennedy with Amy Kloubachar or maybe Liz Warren could come up with a whole new mission for the biz school and gather funding too.
Or, we could at least resurrect the Fairness Doctrine and force institutions like Colorado Christian or Colorado Mesa to host visiting scholar programs in Democratic Socialist thought.
Colorado Christian is probably off the table no matter what. But Colorado Mesa is a possibility:
Now just find someone to honor by naming it after them, some donors willing to put up the cash for an endowment sufficient to run a visiting scholar program. When you have the money, the University Golden Rule will kick in — those with the gold get to rule.
I'd bet Governor Polis' appointments to The Colorado Commission on Higher Education ["the policy and coordinating board for the state's higher education system including Colorado Mesa University"] and the CMU Board of Trustees would be willing to set up the program.
I might take that bet, John. Have you had dealings with Mesa College lately? There is no shared decision making process. The curriculum does not support the institutions' posturing. Adjunct professors are everywhere you look and liberal troublemakers are not welcome.
Maybe things have recently changed at Tims' Conservative Cottage…(you can rent a room!)…but I don't think so.
How long would it take the program to attain zero enrollment at these bastions of conservative indoctrination?
Remember, it's not about enrollment, it's about "diversity of thought."
But of course, that diversity of thought gets attacked whenever anyone expresses an opinion of which Ronald Reagan would not approve. Its not like the right-wing have been vocal proponents of making sure that everyone has a right to free speech. They had “cancel culture” going a long time ago, as the mention of Ward Churchill reminds us.
The right’s idea of free speech is that they are permitted to speak, but everyone else is gagged until the surgery to remove their vocal chords can be performed.
The whole notion that universities aren't already bastions of conservatism (note small c) is itself preposterous. They're dinosaurs stuck in 20th century notions of privilege and institutional privilege.
What Conservatives (note Capital C) are really calling for is chairs in reactionary politics. I'll be satisfied when Ganahl calls for the Martin Heidegger Chair in Conservative Thought, just so we get to truth in advertising.
"For Republican Heidi Ganahl in particular, for whom service on the Board of Regents has long been considered her springboard to higher office"
<sarcasm>Right!</sarcasm>
Her name recognition has to be in the 5% range.
Then, she has to deal with 33% of the electorate who will never vote for a G卐Per.
In 2015, Ganahl was appointed by Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper to the School Safety and Youth in Crisis Committee established by Colorado Senate Bill 15-214, to study school safety and threat prevention in public and private schools, programs and methods for identifying and monitoring students in crisis, standardized protocols for school personnel for assessing potential threats, and the implementation of the Claire Davis School Safety Act
Ganahl was elected to the CU Board of Regents as an at-large member in 2016.
In 2020 3 regents were elected to represent their CDs. The biggest votegetter received 9% of the votes on ballots returned, i.e. only 9% of voters voted the whole ballot.
Thanks Hick.
