So Boulder – U Michigan Department Chair: We Should ‘Hate Republicans’ | National Review Online.
Perhaps the University of Michigan could learn a lesson from the University of Colorado and implement the Visiting Scholar in Conservative Thought and Policy program. Don’t know if Steven Hayward is up for a rerun though, according to his Powerline bio, looks like he’s pretty busy.
h/t to Instapundit, who comments…
You know, if I were a Republican — or even Republican-curious — student at the University of Michigan, I’d feel unwelcome there. If I were a Republican governor or legislator in Michigan, and I think they have some of those, I’d be finding ways to encourage Michigan to be more inclusive and diverse. Especially given that — perhaps because of incitement caused by faculty views such as those above — the University of Michigan has already seen mob violence against conservatives. Perhaps Michigan lawmakers need to add political discrimination to their state’s civil rights code — at least as relates to institutions of education — especially in light of Cass Sunstein’s recent argument that political hatred is a serious problem in our society.
Repeat after me University of Michigan Department of Communications chairwomen Susan Douglas, “tenure is a wonderful thing.” If there’s “higher learning” going on in her department, hopefully it’s in spite of her efforts, not because of them.
