Memo To Intern Bo Derek: Nip It

Institutional Capture: It Can Happen Here – My former Employer Has Gone the Way of All Leftist-Led Colleges.
The American Spectator | 7 Jan, 2023 | Bradley C. S. Watson

My name has now been added to the long and depressing list of high-profile academic “cancellations.” I recently resigned my tenured position at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, due to an episode — sadly typical of American higher education — that has been widely documented in national media. Like so many recent academic debacles, the actions of the administrators who precipitated the affair were ridiculous and wholly unnecessary. . .

The problem colleges face is institutional capture. . . It must be nipped in the bud if there’s to be any hope of saving the vital remnants of intellectual seriousness that can still be found on many American campuses.

Nip it! Nip it in the bud!

“Now you see, O.P., . . . “

This would have been a timely warning in the early seventies, Professor, before you were vocally voting Democrat to be cool with the faculty cocktail crowd.

(I may be traducing this professor like Joseph K. — I don’t know his leanings; just his environment.)
