UCLA Alumni Want Scoop on 'Radical' Profs

LOS ANGELES - An alumni group is offering students up to $100 per class to supply tapes and notes exposing professors who allegedly express extreme left-wing political views at the University of California, Los Angeles.

1. so much for the "liberal" mindset, eh?

[LeftCoast]

2. Not UCLA - some of their RW alumni

And frankly, if they want to waste their money like that they can go for it as far as I'm concerned.

15. From my past reading about this group, some of them aren't even

UCLA alumni.

3. $100? That'll hardly buy them a dinner in Westwood. What cheap screws!

Wingers, stand up for your rights! Organize! Unionize! Demand decent pay for rat@#$%!-ing your professors!

4. Name that group. Identify those members. n/t

9. Only one guy - not a group

He claims to organize anti-anti-war demonstration and anti-affirmative action efforts but where are his followers?

He must have multiple personalities though (note the headline of this page):

13. Look at his advisory board.

5. Totally misleading title

UCLS is NOT beginning a witch hunt, or doing anything in regard to this. It's a small, private, nutty group of alumni. It's hardly remarkable. It may be despicable, but they have every right to do it, that little old pesky free speech 1st amendment thing. In any case, you should post more accurately. You're sliming the school.

10. Un-knot mine - one guy = "Alumnus" nt

12. So you just post stuff without doing the slightest bit of

research. You don't read the guy's lame website - you just amplify his efforts by claiming falsely in your headline that the University of Los Angeles is conducting a witch hunt. (You don't even re-read the headlines of your posts apparently.)

6. That's why professor tenure is so important

Because of fascist groups like this one. Some professors do research in controversial fields, or they arrive at findings that are unpopular (ie. abstinence only sex ed. does not work, or Bush voters were more likely to believe that Iraq was involved in 9/11). If groups like this are allowed to succeed, then professors will shy away from doing research in controversial areas, or not publishing findings that will make people feel uncomfortable.

8. I thought colleges were the bastion of liberal thinking

where professors indoctrinated their students with a fight the power message.


Okay, I just cracked myself up writing that. :rofl:
