Time to Take Back State U

Jack Cashill

Take a look at the difference between Mizzou and Purdue University (run by Mitch Daniels) in 2015. What happened at the University of Missouri last fall could have happened at any major state university save perhaps one: Purdue.  In that I live in Missouri (and have a wife on the faculty) and in that I got my Ph.D. from Purdue, I have had a front row seat to this entirely predictable saga. If, six months ago, you asked the University of Missouri curators which major state university was most likely to melt down, not a one of them would have said, "Mizzou!"  But that, I suspect, is because they had long since accepted the reigning absurdity on campus as normative......    More

David Rubin, former dean of the university’s School of Public Communications, was there to document the tale.   “One student said a music faculty member was unaware of the latest musical trends in this student’s culture. The student felt this was a micro-aggression against her, Rubin wrote........Read the full story
