ResLife Insidiousness Lives On

The publicity about the sinister freshman orientation program at the University of Delaware seemed so explosive as to suggest to some the incident would put an end to such machinations by bureaucratic non-faculty.
Not so, says Richard B. Spencer, who provides here the most horrifying account of the details of that sick program that I’ve seen, for example, that a freshman “who denounced her ‘racist and opiniated [sic] father’ received a ‘best’ rating” from her resident advisor.
Spencer concludes that after the university president closed down the indoctrinating programs, the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education “delared victory. But then most everything that gave birth to the program has remained firmly in place — at UD as everywhere else.” Spencer relates that one professor jested “that if anyone at ResLife were fired, they’d be quickly hired and promoted at Brown.”
Something to watch and combat more forcefully: The philosophical corruption and tremendous staying power of campus educrats. (The American Conservative)
