Another Avenue of University Bias
Captain Ed has posted an interesting bit of research on the university of Minnesota (UM) and how balanced their funding of various groups is. It isn't just the unbalanced representation within the lecturing community that it is a problem, it seems that if you hold conservative values, you also get discriminated against in university funding.
The committee, based on its disbursements, appears to want a marketplace with fifty brands of the same product instead. It seems to me that if the subcommittee was that concerned about promoting a broad diversity of opinion for students at UMTC, they would spend their money in something more equitable disbursement than a 97% - 3% split between its liberal and conservative action groups.
The secular humanist steam roller rolls on. 'Free enquiry' indeed.
