Since when did "the government" take over "the universities"? What department of "the government" gives orders to university professors? DARPA? NOAA?
I guess this is a transnational agreement, because faculty move back and forth across the oceans, and their opinions don't change much. "The government" must be a lot more well-organized than I'd suspected.
- noblethrasher 16y agoAdmittedly I've never verified this but one of my history professors said that the department of education (under the Bush administration) requested that the instructors present a more pro-American narrative (or rather complained of a very anti-American bias in recent scholarship). (Obviously you should take this hearsay anecdote with the proverbial minimal quantity of sodium chloride but I'll try to verify it with some other professors in the department.)
