Faculty members from US universities – including public ones which do not receive endowments – are banding together in attempts to resist the Donald Trump administration’s attacks on academic freedoms.

This month, Indiana University’s Bloomington faculty council followed in the footsteps of Rutgers University in passing a resolution to establish a pact with all 18 universities under the Big 10 academic alliance to defend academic freedoms.

So some liberal arts professors are whining about something.

Serious question: Do you believe every student at every university is a liberal arts major?

No, I believe that the serious students at every university are NOT liberal arts majors, while some liberal arts majors are serious because they happen to naturally be good at something like music, art, or whatever.

Unserious students are those in the liberal arts that take 'easy' classes, enjoy campus life, and those that gullible enough to buy into all the radical Leftist claptrap that goes on on university campuses are just wasting their time and money because mommy and daddy, or the government will pay them to be perpetual students.

Most students are in a business college. Second, science and engineering. I have no idea why you are obsessed with the liberal arts.

I don't hate them. I simply dismiss them as those getting an actual high school education that they didn't get in high school.

It won't work, Hugo. They are too dependent on federal money.

Academic freedoms does not mean supporting terrorists or supporting sexual perversions.
