Gotta say, that the reading list for the course on "The University" from the new director of Heterodox Academy doesn't seem all that diverse from a viewpoint perspective, that is. heterodoxacademy.org/hxannouncement… 
I have a suggestion for the course on "The University" if the new head of Heterodox Academy can handle part of a chapter that criticizes the effect of Heterodox Academy on institutions and discourse. beltpublishing.com/products/susta…
I'd also be happy to do a Zoom with the class so they might hear a little different perspective on "The University" than that pretty intellectually cramped (when it comes to viewpoint diversity) reading list.
Honestly, Buckley, Bloom, the new Jonathan Rauch book and then a dose of HxA content sound like viewpoints spanning from A to C. Where are the texts that challenge that point of view? How is this not indoctrination? I'm outraged!
Not really outraged. Just noting how much of the HxA activity is really centered around turf protection and projection, rather than whatever it is they claim to be doing about diversity of perspectives in academia.
Huh. As it turns out the new head of Heterodox Academy is one of the Koch's "pet professors" h/t @HustlerINTP. Maybe we can stop pretending that HxA is non-partisan? greenpeace.org/usa/dark-money…
Lest we forget HxA published a piece laundering the coordinated attacks against primarily minority faculty under the theory that maybe those faculty deserved them. insidehighered.com/blogs/just-vis…
Q: But John, isn't it just "guilt by association" to point out that the new head of HxA has been funded by the Kochs?
A: Yes. It seems notable that an organization that claims to advance viewpoint diversity is headed by someone who funds anti-democratic causes.
