No good. Predates me and isn't stickied. Just another old, lost thread. #BanSultan

Was pinned until the politics board was created.  When we got rid of the poli board, I created the new one.  You lose.

I get you point and can agree to disagree.  I just think it amounts to holding professors responsible for the evils of unknown third parties, which has an obvious chilling effect.

And to your last point, that is likely a good amount of what is good for the goose is good for the gander.  It is equally ironic to hear liberals bemoaning the evils of free speech and academic freedom when they championed such protections when they benefitted them while in the minority on college campuses in the mid-twentieth century.

Well in the mid twentieth century academic freedom was helping protect "liberal" professors who were championing things like the civil rights movement. It's a little different than using it to protect a professor who bullies their students in a public forum.

But more to the point, I haven't seen anyone bemoaning free speech or academic freedom in this thread. Both of those are valuable and should be protected. But we don't believe that those protect a professor from reprisal when they bully students in their public blog

Who's that?

A radio personality in MKE with an even wider internet audience.  He hates Marquette and will not lose any opportunity to attack.

I don't really care what he says.  I just wish Marquette would stop handing him material on a silver platter.  We could just start calling them "Marquette Gold" incidents.

Are you referring to Mark Belling or mu-rara?

Wow.  I thought we were friends?

These ratings tend to be very accurate. Shows that McAdams is a good quality teacher and the TA not so much.

If there's one thing that can be counted upon for accuracy, it's an anonymous online poll.

I am just teasing you, honey.

And what does this have to do with whether or not McAdams should be fired?

I know.

Indeed. I think any website that grades teachers on their hotness with a pepper scale is of the highest academic rigor.

And irrelevant to the conversation.

Just a heads up -- it appears that your teal button didn't survive the migration to the new server.  You should probably let Rocky know so he can trouble-shoot that.
