If you like to use the N-word to African- Americans, the C-word, the W-word to women, or to send your shit to those who disagree with you, Chicago is the place to be. |
Williams, William and Mary, Oberlin, |
| Tulane. I'm very, very impressed with the intellectual caliber of that school. |
Those are exceptions and you know it. As you probably know that Yale and Harvard have professors who use the N-word too. Now, if you want a place where the totality of the administration seems to be a bunch of racist fascists, you should try Oberlin. They have just been exposed, but I have little doubt in your eyes that makes them more "intellectual." |
Google Chicago Principles. UChicago defended Stone’s so-called “academic freedom” of expression, so we are not talking just one idiot professor. |
Chicago is one of the most intellectual schools in the country, if not the world. Remember that academic freedom goes both ways. It protects faculty who hate Republicans and mock anyone with a conservative leaning, as is found at all American schools too. |
| Washington and Lee |
UChicago is intellectual but no higher than good state universities such as UVA or UCBerkeley. |
Tulane. We also visited Chicago during a school day in spring. DS said class discussion was a notch below discussions in class at Tulane. |
That's hysterical! |
Chicago reputation was bought through it$ PR machine. Without the PR campaign, their admit rate would jump back up to 40-50% it was just 10-15 years ago. Doesn’t surprise Tulane students’ intellectual level is higher than Chicago’s. |
| Wesleyan. |
That you -- just did. Those Principles make a lot of sense. I wish more US schools adopted them. Do you object to all of them or to any particular one? |
May make sense in theory, but in practice.... Most colleges and universities in the US have not signed on to it. UChicago Prof Stone was one of its chief architects. He is that N-word prof. He has since stated he will no longer use the N-word in his classroom. He’s also disavowed Chicago Principles as unworkable (probably bc they allow the N-word and C and W-words during so-called “intellectual” conversation.) Reporters have also contacted UChicago “distinguished” Prof Brian Leiter re: shitstorm he created after the shit hit the fan cuz he allegedly mailed packages of his shit to female colleagues in his stand of legal rights to the freedom of expression. No word yet on whether if the mailing of shit has stopped. |
