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.
New York Times
George Washington University English professor Margaret Soltan writes a blog called University Diaries, in which she decries the Twilight Zone-ish state our holy land’s institutes of higher ed find themselves in these days.

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.

Corporatist Gleichschaltung is oozing into many universities as they hire administrative staff who are oblivious to the teaching and research mission of the institution.

Pure woke pablum of exactly the sort force-fed to us here.

It is Corporate obedience training. Nothing woke about it except the terminology they’re using today as opposed to yesterday as opposed to tomorrow.

Ravi: Love the phrase corporate obedience training. Praise your dog.

This sort of corporate creep is likely a trend. I recently looked in at the renovated student center of Northern Illinois University. Now prominently posted, the Mission, Vision, and Values. It’s part of something called strategic planning.

Ravi, I have a niece and a nephew who have been employed by Disney in recent years, and believe me, it may be corporate training, but it is woke to the point that even the wackiest of the woke student life deanlets would be aghast.

Missionaries routinely coopt local customs but ultimately they are selling their own brand of swill. ‘Woke’ may be the flavor of today but it will be replaced by some other gimmick. The underlying message won’t.

Your new pres is a one trick pony. He did the same thing at Miami.
