WAIT, I’VE BEEN TOLD FOR YEARS THAT HIGHER EDUCATION IS A CESSPIT OF RACISM, SEXISM, AND ABUSE: “”The faculty letter gives the impression that many Princeton professors believe their institution is rife with anti-Black racism and that the university must risk abandoning long-standing core values to be anti-racist. But most signatories who responded to my queries hold neither of those beliefs.”

Plus: “I am concerned that some faculty members are unwilling to publicly criticize a demand that they scoff at privately. Can they really be counted on to protect academic freedom in a faculty vote? And I wish more faculty members would say whatever they actually think with clarity and precision, rather than indulging in hyperbole that does more to muddy and polarize than to clarify.”

I WOULDN’T MIND SO MUCH IF MY BELOVED DENVER WEREN’T BEING FORCED TO FOLLOW THE SAME PATH BY OUR RIDICULOUS GOVERNOR AND HIS RIDICULOUS EOs:  The Decline and Fall of San Francisco.

THIS ARTICLE IS A CESSPIT OF BAD ANALYSIS, NOT EVEN MAKING IT CLEAR WHETHER IT IS COMPARING COMPARABLE COLLEGE DEGREES, OR IS EQUATING A B.S. IN MATH FROM COLUMBIA WITH A B.A. IN AFRICAN-AMERICAN STUDIES FROM SUNY.:  Black New Yorkers with a college degree earn $21,900 a year less than their white counterparts.

My experience of similar articles comparing male and female earnings, for instance, leads me to believe the lack of precision is intentional.
