semiquantitative you may want to go to you and for some of their schedules the
way it is difficult for us to get personal responses d jewelers again
but i certainly don't want to think that we don't read them so i'd like to
respond to one of the letters here today that's how it is important so you're
talking about for a show
it has to do this evening i'm complaining about a particularly
offensive professor they have
that's why don't you want to question whether or not we should have tenure in
universities
recently there is no residencies push into the resignation professor
eisenstein ten your total science professor orthodox jews
here's a little bit of a several skirt or comments about muscle people's
urbandaily protests and twelve-page illegals containing his incriminating
piece pecans
and i've seen also recorded during class and most of the auditor cheated
even my history professor talked about things that sandwich potential professor
was giving a lecture religious and racial tolerance and he uh... eisenstein
flew off the handle claimed only muslims middle-east terrorism in the religion
which is funny since as a member of his department he should be aware that the
states
undertaking what i was in science classes and i'm not sure who to believe
but is there a huge dealers who i just wanted to have his opinion on the matter
do you think would seven days fiction holding sway in england investigation
our first amendment rights protected as long as creating his own bias
to definitely bigotry is paying customers pc route that i'd like to say
that i a m pretty in favor of the tenor system the way it is right now
absolute background that you don't know i'm actually working on a doctor right
now
so if there's something i hadn't invited thinking about for my own future
actually
uh... and i think that
one of the main problems with
the sort of a letter that i just read to you
and questioning people whether i should get tenure based on some things that
centered on
as professors
as it is definitely a possibility of a slippery slope in the future
the comments that are offensive to one person
might not be offensive to another uh... who should be judged
as for the nature of good academic research to push boundaries
uh... personalities of what we know
of what we think we know about certain topics and it sometimes uh... apart that
process is going to be going to gary is that
we may not personally approve of
uh... and i think that because of this may be very careful about how we go
about
uh... potentially curtailing
academics first amendment rights
not to mention the fact that tenure as a system results in professor same for
extended periods of time and one university
i decide certain side benefits
ideally huge investors being more pessimistic insisting that there will be
teaching them
for mls four years
it leads to more collaboration between of professors at apartment which can
lead to better work uh... more now from the university
little side benefits like this that could potentially
uh... fall and we decided we did not have tenure as we do now
now in regard your question about whether or not you as a consumer should
be forced to
put up with what you see as bigotry
uh... again certainly saying that i had a great deal of seventy for your
position i have been classes professors have said things that i found to be
incredibly offensive
i'm danny could be
disconcerting to be in that position as a student when you know that
that professors integrating your work
and that you know
the grace as you get into the job that you get seems like there might be on the
line
uh... but i have to say overall that i don't think that simply because a
student he's university large
they haven't any inherent right
to be shielded from material or points of view that they could
potentially be
offended by
but how would you and i think that you have any hair right-to-die shielded from
allegedly points that you find offensive i think that there's actually a great
deal of value it being exposed to that information college is supposed to be
about discovery about germany take from fresh in your senior year and a big part
of that is not just the expose the information that
uh... confirms cuisine has already happened about being exposed to all
things points of view time that would lead to a number of good things in ways
you incorporating
to your uh...
abut his values for your points of view information that you had known about war
and now you see in a different light
or even if it's not persuasive to you
being able to respond to that here in the classroom environment ford papers
you know very well on the subject indebted to the professor ko b_t_u_
having a much more mature and firm grasp
on your values in your beliefs
well i rambled on that side a little bit more than i expected to i hope that it
was engaging
uh... i know that stopping by an entertainer might seem a bit
arcane or esoteric but i think there is something that does really affect
people's lives not just the professors
of it seems to have some really glad that we have seen grogan asking about
that think it would be great if we can continue this conversation in the
congress down below so feel free to engage in that i would love to hear
about you know pros and cons landis in my discussion here i certainly didn't
belong and talk
for museum also has a job and thanks for watching
