Excellent article but Summers cost Harvard many millions because he helped a mate bilk money from the US Government.
Summers also worked for Obama and was as ham-fisted in this role.
I do agree with what you are saying and we do have to stand up to these power mad types who think the truth is only what suits them.

I second JBowyers comment --an excellent article.

"Diversity" one of the buzz words most often hyped by "progressives" these days, is in practice just another excuse for "progressives" get away with what they wouldn't allow anyone else to get away with--playing favourites.

Maybe it's just my area, but I've been noticing lately that those bodies that speak loudest about "diversity" usually have staff and management that are way out of kilter with community demographics--And staff and management which usually have abilities way below par with what is required for the job.

What exactly is the purpose of this vacuous fluff piece?
Meanwhile who tells the most lies?
I would suggest that in the context of USA politics those on the right side of the culture wars divide win this dubious accolade by an immeasurably wide margin.

I think that it is incredible that this nonsense was even entertained for more than 12 months. Whatever happened to common sense.

Excellent article.
This is a common problem in academia, for those who want to see it. Unfortunately, reform in the academe cannot occur from the inside. The feminist sisterhood and their fellow "progressives" have too strong a hold on academia. Reform can only occur from outside pressure, which means withdrawing all funding for courses that teach or include feminism or are taught by feminists.

Excellent article and good luck to Mr Vojkovic, a brave man indeed. I take your point Aristocrat, but it will never happen!
As a 'curriculum manager' in those hallowed halls for some years, I observed with some disquiet the amazing statistic that, participants in the 'Certificate in Women's Studies', had an 80% divorce rate by the completion of studies. As the convenor of the 'Maintenance of course standards' committee, I retreated from all meetings with diplomatic haste and cowardly intent...... :)
