Canada’s overly educated work force is nothing to be proud of

Several months after receiving my second bachelor’s degree, I found myself working behind an espresso machine once again. When I graduated from high school in 2004, postsecondary education was presented as the ticket to high salaries and trappings of middle-class life such as home ownership.

Instead, my generation graduated from university into a global recession, followed by rising home and living costs and the global COVID-19 pandemic. The conventional wisdom was thrown on its head. Today, with the exception of certain professions, higher education guarantees little to workers.

The top ten fascist universities in America.

In the last few decades since the conservative world began to sound the alarm about the disappearance of academic freedom and free speech on college campuses, the situation has grown increasingly dire. The already unforgiving one-party political climate on college and university campuses has grown exponentially worse. The few professors who have dared to challenge the precepts of Critical Race Theory or other unquestionable tenets of the leftist narrative have found themselves facing immediate disciplinary action and calls for their termination from the cancel culture mob.

New study finds American college students extremely biased and out of touch

Earlier this week, I came across a fascinating and harrowing demographic report from the Center for the Study of Partisanship and Ideology, analyzing “elite” college students’ political biases.

It explains that college campuses are left-wing — shocker, I know… — but moreover, it exposes what happens when insular college students hold absurdly unrepresentative viewpoints.

Across dozens of pages, the report unveils that these students live for several years on an island where religion is shunned, and race somehow correlates directly with political ideology. The gender gap is nearly five times larger than in the general population — as more men wisely eschew college.

And this matters. Remember, despite their naiveté and limited life experience, college students and recent graduates, unfortunately, have an outsized effect on politics.

English universities could face fines if not enough students get jobs

The Office for Students has introduced the tests for subjects they deem ‘low quality’

Universities in England could face fines if not enough of their students get graduate-level jobs within 15 months under new measures unveiled by the higher education regulator.

The Office for Students has introduced the tests for subjects they deem “low quality”. Universities could be fined if fewer than 60 per cent of graduates in that subject fail to find work, set up their own business, or continue their studies after completing their course.

Fines could be up to £500,000, the regulator said.

Opinion: Conservative professors are self-censoring to avoid left-wing hostility

An international debate swirls around the state of universities today.

Critics claim that universities have become political monocultures, hostile to those who challenge the merits of contemporary “progressive” thought. They warn of an academic culture where viewpoint discrimination is rampant and academic freedom is threatened.

Academia, where mental and physical onanism come together

It’s no surprise to anybody that academics lean left.

Very, very far left. About the only place outside an Antifa rally that you can find a red-blooded communist (see what I did there?) is in a faculty lounge. There is nothing more attractive to some academics than a murderous totalitarian masking herself as a champion of the people.

Will I Ever See the $36 Million Oberlin College Owes Me?

My family was falsely accused of racism by a powerful school in a small town. Our business was destroyed. We won our case. But the school is refusing to pay.

OBERLIN, OHIO — On the night of November, 8, 2016, Donald Trump was elected president and the country was forever changed. But for my family, it was the following night—November 9, 2016—that our world was turned upside down and has never been set right.

Late that night, my husband, David, came home from work and told me that there had been a shoplifting incident at our bakery, Gibson’s. We’ve been in business for 137 years, so we’ve had our fair share of shoplifters, including earlier that very week. That particular night, a student from the local college, Oberlin, had tried to steal two bottles of wine, and use a fake ID to buy a third. Our son, Allyn, had pursued him across the street. Two more students got involved. Allyn was beaten up pretty badly, and the three students were arrested.

Western University students to hold protest against booster mandates

The news has frustrated students and some are fighting back, including graduate student Kendra Hancock, who launched the Enough is Enough Western campaign.

The campaign is calling on the university to reverse course and drop both its mask and booster mandate – giving students the option to choose.

“We’re doing something controversial… believing in an adult’s right to choose,” reads a tweet from the campaign.

Berkeley’s House of Color Shines Red Light at Whites

A sure way to create racial tensions on the University of California system’s flagship campus.

The university students at University of California Berkeley’s Person of Color (POC) Theme House love their rules. And they’re not pretty.

As Friday’s Daily Mail and Saturday’s Fox & Friends reported, this residence’s directives include this: “Many POC members moved here to be able to avoid white violence and presence, so respect their decision of avoidance if you bring white guests.”

Another instruction states, “Always announce guests in the [house’s] Guest Chat if they will be in common spaces with you and if they are white.”
