Lots of Naming of Names... ...and making of lists and drawing up of petitions lately (see Ralph Luker's first two entries at Cliopatria today). There are, for instance, lists of professors who support Ward Churchill, and lists of professors who believe the United States government bombed the Twin Towers. UD's happy to think and write about what it means that a handful of tenured and untenured professors in this country are tin-foil-hat conspiratorialists. She's happy to harp on the fact that more than a handful of tenured and untenured professors in this country support colleagues who've made careers of plagiarism and misrepresentation. But not right now. UD woke this morning in a flood of light coming from her ocean balcony that seemed to announce the materialization of one of the major saints. By all that's holy, UD should be on the beach. And that's where she's going. But she will leave you (before resuming blogging in a short while) with one Thought For The Day: University students owe it to themselves to select the best professors they can for their courses. Students are paying a fortune. They only have a few years at college. Their minds are terrible things to waste. Rate My Professors and sources like it are important. But lists and petitions are helpful too. |
