i do think it’s kind of a problem for your theory that “wokeness” has taken over all our institutions that the second a professor who works on “woke” stuff acts on her theories, the university lets the cops drag her away in zip tie cuffs

Richard Hanania © @RichardHanania Follow Noelle McAfee, chair of the Emory philosophy dept, gets arrested. Her bio says she "is a critical theorist working in the tradition of the Frankfurt School, drawing on feminist philosophy [and] psychoanalysis." How will society survive a single day without her contributions?
Book cover: The Origins of Woke Civil Rights Law, Corporate America, and the Triumph of Identity Politics Richard Hanania
Richard Hanania has emerged as one of the most talked-about writers in the nation, and in this book, he puts forward a stunning new theory about the culture war that could turn our debates upside down. Richard Hanania has come out of nowhere to become one of the best-known writers in the nation in the last few years. In this book, he directs his attention to the culture war that has driven society apart and presents a stunning new theory about what is going on. In a nation nearly-evenly split between conservatives and liberals, the left dominates nearly all major institutions, including uni... if nothing else this week has been very instructive for anyone who was wondering whether to take any of these people seriously when they say the university is captured by wokeness


Aaron Sibarium © @aaronsibarium All the more disturbing, then, that wokeness dominates universities. It's able to impose its will even on populations that oppose to it! t.co/ IWh5UOEyOa
Eric Kaufmann © @epkaufm WEF, Davos, UN, EU and other suprnational/ global institutions are not where power lies. Wokeness is most intense in core institutions in Anglo societies (universities, media, corporations) and is weaker in more global organizations with more input from non-WEIRD societies.
Geoffrey Miller © @primalpoly Tide: wokeness has captured the American scientific establishment: universities, societies, journals, publishers, funding agencies. Any alleged 'findings' coming out of mainstream U.S. behavioral & social sciences should be understood in this context. John Sailer & @JohnDSailer• 12/9/22 NAS REPORT: @GoadMason just published the largest study of DEI in STEM to date. Lots of noteworthy details, but it all boils down to one basic point: STEM institutions have fully embraced the DEl revolution.... 7:20 AM • 12/9/22 From Earth 34 Reposts 144 Likes 3 Bookmarks
Oliver Traldi © @olivertraldi Yeah, an odd thing about criticisms of woke universities from corporate people is that the most harmful source of wokeness is probably university administrations, which are also the most similar to the corporate world. 12:50 PM • 3/21/22 From Earth 1 Repost 1 Quote 24 Likes

there are 1.5 million faculty in the united states, which puts your likelihood of experiencing a “cancellation attempt” at some point over 23 years at a whopping 0.072% chance. scared yet???? @theFIREorg: 2/ Our Scholar...The total number of faculty... 145 attempts in 2022 would mean 0.009% chance. and even if you’re one of the unlucky few to experience a “sanction attempt,” you’ve got a ridiculously good chance of keeping your job anyway lol @theFIREorg: 73% of these a...
