Thank you.

As a former university academic, it saddens and sickens me that the current crop of administrators see their job as protecting the most fragile rather than encouraging open inquiry. I consistently received outstanding student evaluations from the vast majority of my students with a few terrible ones every semester. Now, the malcontents would be encouraged to invent an excuse to have me fired and undoubtedly cowardly administrators would agree.

I’m so glad I am no longer in academia, but now I don’t know if I want my grandchildren to pursue higher education.
