#1 If I wanted to study "Eastern Civilization", I'd sign up for that course. Will you teach "Western Civilization" in Pakistan and China?

#2 Sounds like the University needs to stop being a parasite on Western Civilization as well.

BTW, idiot, it seems the Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, et al have been embarrassing a lot of the fruits of Western Civilization. So much so, that progressives institutions have been racially segregating them for their success.

#3 If I had to take a guess, I'd say that Western Civ was by and large already heavily deemphasized by this point in Eugene, and now they have a convenient excuse to finally kill it dead. In a broader context, it sure as hell has been déclassé for decades in most other parts of academe & high school curriculums.

#4 More re-writing or ignoring the past so they can lay their Maxist indoctrination on the students.

#9 Pistol Pete Maravich could have been a Harlem Globetrotter if he didn't have white privilege.

#10 If the supremacy thing weren't so obvious, there'd be no need to censor the subject.
That said, "good" is defined in western terms. indoor plumbing, democracy and justice (if only pretend), industrialization, ending famine, coat and tie for formal affairs, medicine, such like.
If there were other ways to define "good", I'm sure the courses would reflect those.

#11 Western civilization is so horrific we are fighting about how to keep folks out.
Other civilizations don't seem to have this problem.

#14 Then why tech History™ at all? Disband the College and fire all of the professors.

#15 The state should cut all their funding, since the university has decided to abandon their mission.
