Dr. Bernard Carroll, known as the "conscience of psychiatry," contributed to various blogs, including Margaret Soltan's University Diaries, for which he sometimes wrote limericks under the name Adam.

University Diaries. Hosted by Margaret Soltan, professor of English at George Washington University. Boy is she pissed — mostly about athletics and funding, the usual scandals — but also about distance learning and diploma mills. She likes poems too. And she sings.

Y’all remember little David Horowitz? You know, the guy who penned The 101 Most Dangerous University Professors, or some such crap. If not, then maybe this might help….

Davey boy has a touch of myopia, none of his dangerous profs come from business/law schools. Seems all those criminal academics reside in the liberal arts section of the campus. And people still listen to this dude…..

“Corporatism”–the belief that the most important values derive from your job–used to be more modulated by religion, family, civic-mindedness, unions, ethnic affinities, education, etc. That’s my guess at least.

I don’t know dmf, my first degree was in Accounting. The general ed/liberal arts classes we were forced to endure didn’t strike us business majors as a menace to the larger society. Then again, it was a Jesuit institution, and if the conspiracy theories are correct, them folks are a sneaky bunch of Jacobians….
