<p>I'm confused. Stanley Rothman is a Prof. Emerius at Smith College, who presumably received tenure notwithstanding his visibility as a "conservative" thinker.</p>
<p>His co-auther, Robert Lerner, was a prof. at Syracuse, Smith, and Johns Hopkins before forming a conservative research firm which is probably the leading anti-affirmative action research firm in the country.</p>
<p>Do these conservative professors not disprove their own "theory" of discrimination. Last time I checked, Smith College is not widely known as a lone bastion of conservatism.</p>
<p>I did, however, get a chuckle out of Rothman's assertion that "conservatives" tend to not be "confrontational" in their politics. That's a good one. I wonder if he can keep a straight face?</p>
