More on the Political Correctness Front at the UA
The Arizona Association of Scholars will be hosting a talk by Robert Maranto on “The Politically Correct University” (his most recent book) next week at the University of Arizona. I have been busy sending out emails to folks to let them know about this. I just hit the Student Life website. Just so you know, Sarah Casares is in charge of Student Behavioral Education, Hannah Lozon is in charge of Social Justice Education, and Jill Burchell is in charge of Sustainability Education. I wonder if these residence employees will attend?

If they do, I cannot imagine it will be in support. Hopefully the Arizona Association of Scholars has gone some distance in terms of preparing for “shout down” protesters. As a graduate student I was able to hear Diane Ravitch speak on educational issues, and there were a host of students and student groups who attempted to “shout down” Ravitch during certain points of her speech. One would think such antics are a bit juvenile and embarrassing, however, in their eyes, nothing is more legitimate.
Prof. Maranto gave a fine speech to a small but lively audience. Few students attended. Apathy seems to be the order of the day.
