Academic Freedom Under Assault

[Winston Smith]

Consider a professor at a major Big Ten School. Again I will not use this person's name. But this individual is a well known “expert” on what he describes as “Diploma Mills.”

Thanks for posting that, VB.  It's good to see this isn't the only place people are talking about the accreditation nazis.  

Unfortunately the pendulum continues to swing away from freedom.   The accreditation cartel nearly blew a gasket when Bush suggested measuring outcomes so that accreditation might actually stand for something.  Yet not a single word of protest from the same higher ed cartel after the recent nationaization of the student loan industry and the Obummer assault on college internships.

I wonder who that slimy, sleazy professor is they are talking about?
