Yaaaaaaaaawn.

Just another day at the office for the brownshirts of the academic left. Two kinds of liberals: the well-meaning but clueless and the power-mad commie bigot.

You are at it again.....responding to your own posts after a few days of no one caring to respond. Suggestion: use the time to address your personality disorder instead.

Last Thursday the ASUCI Legislative Council voted 6-4-2 to ban the display of the American flag in the ASUCI lobby. This triggered a huge backlash among students opposed to the measure and received national media attention. UCI administration immediately went into damage control mode, releasing a statement that these students were “misguided” and that this decision was in no way supported by campus leadership. Chancellor Gillman promptly followed up, lamenting how it is “inevitable” when you get a bunch of “young people” together that some of them will occasionally express views that are “unconventional and even outrageous.” “It was outrageous and indefensible,” he exclaimed “that they would question the appropriateness of displaying the American flag on this great campus.”Where on earth could these “misguided” students have gotten such an “outrageous” idea? Where are they getting their guidance from? Could it be from the administration constantly suffocating the student body with statements about how we need to enhance our “diversity” and “inclusivity?” Could it be their complete failure to identify and champion American values in any meaningful way? Let’s take a closer look.When I applied to the UC Irvine PhD program, I was required to submit a statement about how I would enhance the “diversity” of the university. Why was I not required to submit a similar statement about what I love about America, how I will uphold American values and further the cause of this great nation? Why aren’t international students required to answer these questions and write a statement about which American values they find so appealing and why they are excited to be a part of American culture?

BTW, you are mistaken, but if nobody responds, than why did you?

Mr. Gallo you are swimming against the current. My advice to you is to graduate and get the hell out of academia because it is simply infested with he worst kind of liberals - the kind who never have to live with the fruits or their soft-minded theories.

“The university is not going to look at different groups and say, ‘You’re not allowed to support that group because we don’t believe them’ or something like that. I think it’s just the opposite. I think the university wants the entire community to understand what’s going on in all parts of the world,"
- Cornell’s assistant dean for students, Joseph Scaffido

Unless of course, they represent conservative thinking. Then they will be banned from the campus.

BOULDER, Colo. — ONCE upon a time in America, baby boomers paid for college with the money they made from their summer jobs. Then, over the course of the next few decades, public funding for higher education was slashed. These radical cuts forced universities to raise tuition year after year, which in turn forced the millennial generation to take on crushing educational debt loads, and everyone lived unhappily ever after.This is the story college administrators like to tell when they’re asked to explain why, over the past 35 years, college tuition at public universities has nearly quadrupled, to $9,139 in 2014 dollars. It is a fairy tale in the worst sense, in that it is not merely false, but rather almost the inverse of the truth.

The largest expense for colleges and universities is personnel. But Richard Vedder,*director of the Center for College Affordability and Productivity, says much of the bloat comes from a rapid growth in administrative, or non-teaching, staff at universities rather than faculty.*"Some are support staff for academic areas – we didn't need computer technicians 40 years ago," Vedder says. "Some are jobs we created in politically fashionable areas: sustainability coordinators, diversity vice presidents, public relations specialists."*Student affairs areas, too, have had increases, Vedder says.*"Part of that is related to the expansion of the 'country club-ization' of universities – the building of ever-nicer facilities, recreational centers, student union buildings, luxury dormatories," Vedder says.*According to the Delta Cost Project, other professional positions – such as business analysts, human resources and admissions staff – drove the increase. At public nonresearch institutions, for example, professional positions grew twice as fast as executive and managerial positions from*2000 to*2012 and outpaced growth in student enrollment.*

The launch of her talk Thursday began with outlining the proliferation of the “massive diversity bureaucracy” at universities in general and UCLA in particular. She called out UCLA’s brand new Vice Chancellor for Equity and Diversity position by mentioning his salary alone could “pay…for 12 under privileged college students” to attend UCLA.

She recalled an incident in the UCLA Education school where professor emeritus Val Dean Rust was subject to protests because of alleged microaggressions in his editing of student papers a few years ago.Among the 81-year old professor emeritus’s*alleged transgressions*were repeatedly requiring students to write “Indigenous” in lowercase form instead of uppercase, requiring students to capitalize “white” if they also chose to capitalize “black,” and requiring students to use the Chicago Manual of Style instead of the style standards of the American Psychological Association.Mac Donald called the result of the situation – in which Rust was forced to stay away from UCLA for six months and the student protester who led the cause was praised – as a “travesty of justice typical of this reign of terror.”

She also cited a viral video that*attacked*UCLA for grievances against black students. Mac Donald said the way the university responded to the video, which was public praise, defies the true narrative of the situation.The video implies that current black students are as equally oppressed as black students on campus in 1969. But Mac Donald highlighted that although only 3.8 percent of the university is black, only “5 percent of UCLA applicants are black” and only 7 percent of California is black. She said interviews with Professor Richard Sanders and Professor*Tim Groseclose, UCLA whistleblowers on affirmative action, have revealed to her that “UCLA twists itself into knots to admit blacks.” She went even further by claiming that the “UCLA Law school admits blacks at 400 times what their proficiency would predict.”

She questioned the validity of the rape epidemic, postulating that if such an epidemic existed at elite universities, then there would be a strong movement for single sex schools, but instead there is a push for coed bathrooms. In an additional remark, she said that the idea that women are only victims at universities “makes her want to throw up.” She cited the larger number of women at universities and the “frenzy to find qualified women and minorities” for professorships as evidence against such an idea.
