The lopsided attitudes of college professors pose a serious challenge to learning because students are so susceptible to becoming lopsided sheep.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Instead of educating students, these professors are trying to indoctrinate them.
Just what is it that academics have to fear if they stand up for common decency, instead of letting campus barbarians run amok?
The most frequent complaint I hear from college students is that professors inject their leftist political comments into their courses even when they have nothing to do with the subject.
That is still the case in this country for too many students, the soft bigotry of low expectations. If you don't expect them to learn, if you don't expect them to succeed - then it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Tenured professors are more prone than the rest of us to think that the university is the universe.
University politics are vicious precisely because the stakes are so small.
Well-roundedness comes not from sitting in a classroom but from experiencing the larger world.
I feel I learned as much from fellow students as from the professors.
I have known people who are working class or craftsmen, who happen to be more intellectual than professors.
Earnestness is stupidity sent to college.
