NPR carried another segment this morning about the oath required of faculty in the Cal State system. They covered it earlier in the month so that story seems to have some legs. Most telling, Wendy Gonaver spoke up immediately when she did not feel comfortable with the oath. Compare this to certain political hacks who seem to swallow their objections until they get whiff of a book deal. Most frightening — can you really believe in this day and age a faculty member will be removed from a classroom by police for failing to take a loyalty oath? Where’s the AAUP on all this? Where’s the AAUP at all?
