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 despite the fact that the commentary is irrelevant 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

faculty member, but also
an upper administration figure who wields significant power as an
Assistant
Vice Provost and director of the Academic Advancement Program. (read more)

The Fight for Academic Freedom at
UCLA
Provided you
weren’t living in a cave in mid-January this
year, you probably caught one of the headlines.
“Rat Out a Rad Prof for $100,” bellowed the New
York Post. “Rightwing
group offers
students $100 to spy on professors,” screamed the U.K. socialist rag The Guardian. Even the Los
Angeles Times, which had broken
the story, eventually carried a venomous Sunday feature op-ed
announcing a
“Witch hunt at UCLA.” On this topic, at
least, observers from the left and the right had seemingly reached
consensus:
the Bruin Alumni Association’s UCLAProfs.com website was a disgusting
piece of McCarthyism
richly deserving bipartisan condemnation.
But to paraphrase Sir Winston Churchill, never have so many people been
so misled by so many different media outlets. (more)
