#3 Well when the sh!t hits the fan, the Red Guard won't be able to hide behind 'academic freedom' they've already killed. With a another severe economic hit coming, I don't see state 'higher education' being given a pass and an increased interest at the capitals (other than Sacramento) in returning to the old A&M concept, practical applications rather than 'arts and humanities'.

#4 Summers served in one of the most Progressive administrations and he is criticizing creeping totalitarianism? Must be getting bad. Maybe these institutions should be shut down with a restart with some sanity.

#7 IIRC Summers caught lots of academic heat a few years ago when he dared to suggest it might not be unreasonable to actually study whether there were real differences in male & female mental processing of things like math.
