Is this a joke?? “The Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA seeks applications for an Assistant Adjunct Professor on a without salary basis. Applicants must understand there will be no compensation for this position.” recruit.apo.ucla.edu/JPF04991
“UCLA and the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry are interested in candidates who are committed to the highest standards of scholarship and professional activities, and to the development of a campus climate that supports equality and diversity.”

Academics everywhere should be aware of this recent hoax, modeled on the ‘90s Sokal Hoax, which is providing fodder for the culture wars & branding all scholars as biased radicals willling to stop at nothing to forward their agenda. google.com/amp/s/www.thea…
One example cited in the bogus articles: Teaching students about “white privilege” and the need for redress by advocating that educators bind outspoken white students to the floor in chains in front of the entire class as a means of “experiential reparations.”
Another offensive example from a bogus paper, designed to expose the alleged absurdity of queer studies, gender studies, etc. focused on “in situ observation of canine rape culture in a Portland dog park.” It asks: “Do dogs suffer oppression based upon (perceived) gender?”
