University of Birmingham 'Male & Pale' Professors assigned minders |
2018-08-14 |
[Victory Girls] The Social Justice Warrior cult on university campuses just got another boost. Say hello to the University of Birmingham where being a Senior Academic while male and pale means being "assigned a junior female colleague from an ethnic minority as a mentor". "Reverse Mentors"? What could go wrong? The project’s overseer is Professor Jon Rowe. It’s not that he is directly charging his fellow penis of pallor academics of overt SIXHIRB, but he hopes these nubile, young vagina possessors will leave the seniors "feeling quite uncomfortable". "What is understood about unconscious bias is that we have all got it, but the more you learn about it and become conscious of it, the more you can act ... Rowe forgets that even people who have not gone to University can spot blatant question-begging. It is well known ranks up there with experts say or, the classic, studies show for fallacious assertions. Are these white, male professors bigots? Have they been shown to engage in unlawful discrimination? Therefore, let’s be honest. These mentors are actually cultural minders. They are Big Sisters to monitor (and report) the professors’ fealty to The Cause. Mao would proud. |

#12 As someone pointed out elsewhere, the interactions between male and female in close proximity have a way of turning romantic after a while. Which might, per grom, provide opportunities to fire the palefaces. |

#11 a tenured professor cannot be fired unless he sleeps with students. And he can sue, if fired. That is, indeed, the definition. But when the position no longer exists, there can be no instructor filling it, tenured or not. And if the pay and benefits are reduced enough, while the teaching requirements are substantially increased, even tenured professors will wander off to greener and less stressful pastures. This actually happened to my sister, who is now happily employed elsewhere; she is no longer carrying the entire department’s courses after the university retrenched following a serious spending spree, and all the other staff left. |

#9 Ah, /sarcasm. Wait, when you say 'sleep with students' do you mean, like all nighters, or just a little closet romp? |

#8 The point is, Skid, a tenured professor cannot be fired unless he sleeps with students. And he can sue, if fired. |

#7 Academic tenure Tenure is a means of defending the principle of academic freedom, which holds that it is beneficial for society in the long run if scholars are free to hold and examine a variety of views. It would seem the contract has been voided, Grom. |

#5 Why would tenured professors put up with this shit? They don't want to teach high school? |

#4 Wiki: In the military, a political commissar or political officer (or politruk, from Russian: политический руководитель, "political leader"), is a supervisory officer responsible for the political education (ideology) and organization of the unit they are assigned to, and intended to ensure civilian control of the military. From the establishment of the Red Army after 1917, these officers were almost invariably tasked to make sure the Communist Party of the respective country could count on the loyalty of the Army. |

#3 Where's the Governor? Usually the one who hands out the patronage jobs to fill the Regents seats. |

#2 If I was one of these professors, I'd file complaints against these cunts every day or every hour if necessary. |
