I have been following the happenings at Providence College having to do with the brouhaha over humanities professor Anthony Esolen, who found himself under attack for incorrect views of the college’s new diversity policy and diversity police. Here, at least, is an alumnus who speaks up for him.
“Consider the preposterous level of irony. A professor writes two articles arguing that the campaign for “diversity” is in fact a thinly disguised attempt to ensure conformity to a liberal social agenda. Students and faculty then denounce the professor for every form of bigotry, and demand his termination for even daring to question their views on diversity, thereby confirming the professor’s thesis. To which the administration replies, not by coming to the defense of the lone professor against the mob, but by joining in the attack”
