Higher Education Comical Politics: April 2014

Higher Education is supposed to promote and enhance the lives of the citizens of a State. In Hoosier land, the opposite is true. Higher education is a drain on the resources of the State and only gives back what is claimed by the administrative leadership who are entrusted with the State's tax dollars and institutions of higher education. That is those who get and make the money get to report on how well they are doing for the money they receive. There is no independent audit or review. Since the State of Indiana and NWI in particular are sinking fast on every objective measure relative to the rest of the Nation, it would seem that there is a disconnect between what is being reported and what is happening. That is what the concern of this blog. This comical dance occurs between the leadership of institutions of higher education and the citizen taxpayers of the State.

The Hypocrisy in Academe: The Kamalipour Case

In this blog, I have posted public criticism of a public scholar, Dr. Kamalipour. This is well known, at least within the Purdue University Calumet community. Of course, anything I say or do is immediately attacked by other members of the University community. Thus, did the University community swing into action to protect the emminent scholar, Dr. Kamalipour. Fast forward:... Read more →

Oh the hypocrisy......

"Where is this man from – an ‘eisenstein’ cant(sic) be an American by birth, must be an imported one – polluting the nation" This is a comment in support of Dr. Kamalipour explaining how to understand me and any Jew named Eisenstein. Regrettably, I was not aware, until Dr. Kamalipour's friend's clarification, that me and my ilk are "polluting the... Read more →

Free Speech and Academic Freedom -- Where is the Faculty Senate?

The following article is dedicated to Dr. David Pick, the Purdue Calumet Faculty Senate President. In my experience, Dr. Picks displays ignorance of American Supreme Court decisions on free speech and academic freedom as it applies to faculty. And he is president of the Senate, go figure. The second "dedication" is to Dr. Colin Fewer, one of our College of... Read more →

Kamalipour Made Pro-American By Leftist Faculty At Senate Meeting.

Today the Faculty Senate at Purdue University Calumet will vote to show its continued support and legitimization of a racist faculty member, Prof. Yahya Kamalipour. Why is he racist? The simple answer is that Prof. Yahya Kamlipour supports the vilification of the Jews (historically, such vilification has led to Jewish death campus – but hey, never mind). How has he...
