No need to read this, coz we have @NickWolfinger's assurances that academia has no systemic intolerance to ideas problem.
It's just a few bad apples at a few elite institutions.https://twitter.com/NickWolfinger/status/962199529033408513 …

Hey, um,
@i_aver, that’s not what I said in the tweet you’ve cited. But read@PsychRabble’s excellent article anyway.1 reply 0 retweets 4 likes -
I searched “elite from:
@nickwolfinger”, and distilled a composite argument. “Just a few bad apples at elite institutions” is a satirical simplification to which you’ve left yourself open.pic.twitter.com/R6cEkbOEZ8

Downplaying is an offensive strategy. I don’t think it’s really the most effective; but we have to find something. Strong vocal opinions are only popular among a certain ideological subset; but the silent students will get degrees, too.

If curriculum had no effect on how students see the world no one would have bothered changing it "A prof told me there is no meaning. I took him at his word and stopped listening." Academe & media liability for cultural shift is res ipsa loquitur only question is proportion

What the article shows is that even if the problem is limited to “few radicals at few elite institutions”, it’s up to those in the institutions that value academic freedom to oppose it. Silence and passivity is acquiescence. Why is it mainly ppl on the *outside* fighting this?pic.twitter.com/ZSrLd2sLE5

Perhaps because internal opposition isn’t visible to the outside world? If faculty argue that a new hire shouldn’t be a postmodernist, who will ever know?

Genuine question: is it OK for university job ads for tenure track faculty to require a 'demonstrated commitment to diversity, inclusion, and equity'? Or is that a dog whistle for requiring progressive values?

the person who wrote that probably didn't even know what they meant by it. Standard HR Dept buzzwords.

Yes. And yet, it might send a strong message to applicants about who's welcome and who isn't.
