Malcolm Kline, the executive director of Accuracy in Academia, has an enlightening (and pretty infuriating too) review of 2008's wildest developments from the groves of academe. Among those "lowlights" --* Denying political biases while using class time to get out the vote for Barack Obama;
* Playing the Race Card while still failing to attract black students, leading to, concurrently, an explosion in courses on racial studies and increasingly urgent pleas to boost minority enrollment;
* Maintaining the fiction of global warming in the face of plummeting temperatures; and
* Turning prime academic real estate over to radical Islamic groups under the guise of “tolerance.”
And then Kline offers up his ten nominees for "the most senseless scholars of the year just past." That you can't miss either.
