A heads up: academia now really loves the words “ecosystem” and “spaces of care.” Both terms mean budget cuts because everything always means budget cuts.
Previously, “interdisciplinary” was a favorite term. It meant you could get rid of half of the workers and have the remaining half do the work of both. So, budget cuts.
They will blame Trump for the budget cuts so we need to record and remember that budget cuts were happening for years before this election.

“professors, perhaps more than most, value consensus. They need it to publish, to get tenure, to measure whether or not they are doing a good job. They enforce conformity among themselves, and they willingly submit to the conformity pushed on them by others.“

It’s a good one. Did you see the Bill Maher monologue where he finally let the smug liberals have it? At least somebody on their side is willing to recognize that they have screwed up with the leftist crap.
