The AAUP has been captured by extreme partisans and extreme identitarian ideologues. And now openly opposes freedom of expression. I cancelled my AAUP membership--and my payroll deductions for AAUP dues. I urge other AAUP members to do the same.

Remember what Winston Churchill said: “Faculty governance is the worst form of government — including all the others that have been tried.”

I never get a raise. I get a bump in pay commensurate with my expanding administrative portfolio. My salary and responsibilities are always expanding!

It has been nearly a year since we announced the new syllabus guidelines and templates. So, next week, to celebrate we will announce the new, revised syllabus guidelines and templates. It is all part of the strategic plan reboot!

Unfortunately the legislature’s Sharia Law Ban precludes the athletic department from taking Saudi Sovereign Fund support. So, we are cutting Humanities to pay for NIL!

Technically, you still have tenure. But also - thanks to the state legislature - you are also now an “at will” employee.

Buy my new book, ‘Mediocracy’! This isn’t a request. You need to go buy it for the upcoming chairs and directors retreat. It is required!

I don’t know, man, I wiped out the president of Harvard, helped Ron DeSantis take over a college, inspired the Department of Ed to cut billions in waste, taught popular courses at Hillsdale, and worked with legislators in a dozen states to abolish DEI. How about you?
