Northwestern is not an academic backwater (Bernardine Dohrn), nor is Hamilton for that matter (Susan Rosenberg). Angela Davis is a "University Professor" in the U.C. system--without having produced anything of a scholarly nature. Ward Churchill rises to the head of his "discipline" RKirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15893241965610205006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10910749.post-1150594449121194552006-06-17T18:34:00.000-07:002006-06-17T18:34:00.000-07:00I have no idea how you can possibly interpret my r...I have no idea how you can possibly interpret my response to suggest that I wish to “[do] away with even the few dissenting voices” in academia.

Domestic terrorists with criminal records flourish in this fetid politicized environment. Ron Karenga spent four years in PRISON for assaulting two women. Then he becomes a Department Head at a large state university in less than 15 years!
