It often starts in the summer where you get this book to read and then when you go to campus, you know, during the orientation week, you know, there are programs and seminars and discussions and then, in the more ambitious schools this is something that goes on all year long, a year-long seminar for freshmen through, you know, various events during the freshman year.
You know, the staff that runs these programs, this bureaucracy has been increasing and meanwhile, you know, the tenured professoriate is stagnating.
You know, your first real contact with the college is getting this book and telling you to read it and then you go and you have to sit through a discussion group where they do exercises where you have to discuss white privilege and victimhood and you kind of go through all this.
John Tierney: You are in this very strange world, you know, where people just, you know, there is a jargon about it was all diversity and inclusion and privilege and, of course, transgender.
You know, what happens at this, it's a convention where they talk about ways to expand - it's basically how can expand our budgets more, how can we grow our programs and do even more? And part of it, it's financed in part by the publishing industry because these common read books, you know, if a big school assigns every freshman to read a book, it's like 5,000 copies they're selling right there.
The authors give a 15-minute talk, you know, sort of a peppy talk about their book and why it will help students, you know, learn about their ethnic identity, why it will promote, you know, multicultural values on campus.
Why you burn down the administration building because you're upset about a war is - but anyway, the university president, you know, he appointed a special committee to find out you know, how can we avoid this kind of protest in the future? And my answer would be, well maybe you should expel people who set fire to your building.
