A message from Bruin Alumni
Association President Andrew Jones:
Welcome to
UCLAProfs.com, a project of the Bruin Alumni Association. As our motto attests,
UCLAProfs.com is
a long-term project dedicated to exposing UCLA’s most radical
professors.
The extensively researched profiles you will find here are proof of an
increasingly radical faculty. As a large number of the profiles
also demonstrate,
these professors are actively proselytizing their extreme views in the
classroom, whether or not the commentary is relevant to the class
topic.
The
result for students is nothing less than a debased
education. Douglas
Kellner rages about a “Bush Reich,” the vicious anti-Semitic troika
of Gabriel
Piterberg, Saree
Makdisi, and Sondra
Hale peddle hatred
of Israel and Zionism, while Peter McLaren
teaches
the next generation of educators how to politicize their own classrooms
...
… and the list
goes on.
Take a minute
to skim several profiles. The need for an
academic freedom movement that respects both the professor and
the student should become clear.
We believe there
is hope for
depoliticizing the classroom and emphasizing professional behavior –
provided we
can count on your support.
What can you do to
help?
- Your generous
tax-deductible donation
will allow us to offer compensation to the students helping us on this
project. We are paying for top-quality
class notes,
lecture recordings and other materials because volunteer labor and
internet
anecdotes do not provide solid proof of abusive professor
behavior. As the saying goes, “You get
what you pay
for.” We demand quality from our
contributors, and with your help, we’ll be able to pay them for their
hard work.
- Express
your concern to upper
UCLA and UC administration figures (if emailing, please carbon
copy to bruinalumni (at)
bruinalumni.com).
- Join the Bruin
Alumni Association
mailing list. Drop an email to bruinalumni (at)
bruinalumni.com, and we’ll sign you up.
Thank you
for visiting, and for your interest in the Bruin Alumni Association and
UCLAProfs.com.

Jones
