Entry: Defund the Humanities Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/defund_the_humanities#28017 Post contents: As a CU-Boulder alum and Denver resident, I've followed this story in the local papers. Recommended professors included people like Condi Rice or Bill Kristol. By "conservative thinker" they mean "GOP hack." Globalist market apologists and foreign policy hawks were the only ones considered. I would love to see an outspoken social conservative given a benefice there. It'd help counteract the LGBT scholarship CU is instituting to attract obnoxious activists from out of state. The best way to reform the humanities on campus would be to promote instruction in classical languages. Grammar, rhetoric, history, philosophy, and literature are all synthesized into a single field of study. Sent at: 2009 01 09
