<p>^^^
It kind of sucked, regardless of my own opinion.</p>
<p>Now that I'm back from spring break.....</p>
<p>Okay, hey guys! I was at Dartmouth, and though I am described as "to the right of Nixon & McCarthy, I found Dartmouth to be quite liberal.</p>
<p>That's not so bad, though. I know there is a great mix of people at Dartmouth.</p>
<p>Xanatos, I'm in, so you had better watch your back (and your door---I might stick a poster of Ann on it! lol).</p>
<p>See you guys at Dimensions</p>

<p>I'm quoted in the D today :) In the article about biased liberal profs.</p>
<p>Are you Stephen Franzoi or Paul Krugman?</p>
<p>She's Paul Krugman.</p>
<p>Haha.
It's the anti-semitism article.
And my name is Amanda.</p>
<p>Aha. I saw an article entitled "Liberal Bias at Dartmouth" and figured that'd be it.</p>
<p>You don't seem like a New York Times editor.</p>
<p>A New York Times editor? Not quite.</p>

<p>Just try it...we have ways of dealing with people like you.</p>
<p>Is it this easy to get published in The Dartmouth?</p>
<p>Studies have shown that conservatives are more likely than liberals to blame flood victims for their plight. I must have missed that study.</p>
<p>Not all Republicans are unreasonable good to know!</p>
<p>Dartmouth will not hire a biology professor who will not teach evolution I wonder how many conservative biology professor[s] who will not teach evolution have been up for the job and turned down at Dartmouth? My guess is none, but that doesnt seem to stop Mr. Kale from stating this hiring dilemma as a real and present danger in hiring a politically conservative biology instructor at Dartmouth... a horrifying thought...what if he would have worn his loin-cloth and carried his big horny club to classdo all conservatives with PhDs look like Fred Flintstone? </p>
<p>the majority of PhDs in the country themselves are liberal leaning, making the selection pool for teaching positions inherently shifted in one direction Im sure this is intuitively true, but it would also seem intuitively true that the committees hiring professors would be a potential clique of liberals who have a real potential to think the correct position is the one they currently hold, and a conservative opinion would of necessity be in misinformed error. Of course, this would be irrelevant in the case Mr. Kale cites for Dartmouths biology hires, but probably very relevant in English, Sociology, Psychology, Women/gender studies, etc. It is interesting that Mr. Kale uses biology hiring (in an absurd scenario) to make his point, rather than the more obvious case of a new hiring in the English or Womens/Gender studies departments. </p>
<p>Stephen Franzoi, author of the Social Psychology textbook for the said course offered in the psychology department, describes conservatives as "tending to make dispositional attributions, blaming poverty on self-indulgence, laziness, or low intelligence." so this means, I guess, that PhDs who are politically conservative blame poverty on self-indulgence, laziness, or low intelligence, or is Kale simply making an intellectually lazy argument which would parallel another one that would conclude that the liberal belief held by Joe-six-pack from union local 555 defines the rigorous thought of liberal intellectuals with PhDs like Paul Krugman.</p>
<p>This column may have been informative if it wasnt your run-of-the-mill lazy hack job.</p>
<p>Haha, Kalidescope, I totally agree! I read that article and had the same reaction, especially about the "biology professor" example.</p>
