[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, this is the part that everyone should be focusing on:

[quote]The compact asks universities to ensure a “vibrant marketplace of ideas on campus” and to bar employees from expressing political views on behalf of their employer, unless the matter affects the school. It seeks to create a more-welcoming environment for conservatives, asking colleges to make governance changes and abolish departments that “purposefully punish, belittle, and even spark violence against conservative ideas.”[/quote]

Free and academic speech implications are awful. [/quote]
I don’t see how you aren’t able to express your political views currently. It’s like the canonical tenure thing that you get grumpy and start critiquing your area study for being too progressive.

Also why can’t conservatives accept that they’re overwhelmingly career oriented minds aren’t compatible with a job that requires you to spend your first 6-7 years out of undergrad slaving 60-90 hours of work a week with $30-50k. I’m not convinced there are that many conservatives who would become professors, even if many of them could.[/quote]
