The document discusses several issues related to higher education administration and faculty, including the increasing corporatization of university administration, the lack of viewpoint diversity among faculty which a study found had become more liberal dominated in recent decades, and an anecdote about a professor being told it was inappropriate to say their class required hard work. It also questions why free speech should be protected on campuses and references an old saying about faculty always agreeing to hang the dean.

17. I. Corporatization of
administration
II. Lack of viewpoint
diversity among
faculty

21. Admin said it was “inappropriate,”
“negative” and “insulting” to say
my class wasn’t an easy A and
required hard work

35. Why protect free speech?

40. An old says that faculty can't agree on
anything except to hang the dean, and
even then they can't agree on when
and where.

42. Smith College prof
found 1,643 full-time
faculty at 183 colleges
found faculty who
identified as liberal
doubled over past two
decades —from 39% in
1984 to 72% in 2005

73. 1. Not smart enough
2. Not interested
… but such arguments would never
be accepted to explain lack of
representation by other groups
