New draconian sexual-misconduct policy violates everyone’s rights
Article here. Excerpt:
'In 2007, the University of Delaware proved that it had no need for a “Path to Prominence” in one area: it was already a national leader in the forced indoctrination and brainwashing of students.
The Office of Residence Life was running what the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) called a “shocking program of ideological reeducation.” As FIRE described it, “the Orwellian program requires the approximately 7,000 students in Delaware’s residence halls to adopt highly specific university-approved views on issues ranging from politics to race, sexuality, sociology, moral philosophy, and environmentalism.”
Having apparently learned nothing from its prior national disgrace, UD now seeks to extend forced ideological indoctrination to its faculty. Official sources, including the acting president, repeatedly stated – until local AAUP made them back down – that all faculty must complete an online training course about UD’s new “sexual-misconduct” policy. To complete the course, some professors are forced to endorse specific propositions, such as a widely disputed statistic on the prevalence of campus sexual assault. Everyone on campus must also promise to abide by the policy, though, as we shall see, no honest or moral person could sincerely agree to do so.'
