The far-Left attack on higher education continues to wrack up “successes.”
As Shift reported, a group of students “occupied” the front lobby of the Matteo Ricci College (MRC) — Seattle University’s college of humanities — back in May. They demanded the resignation of Jodi Kelly, the college’s dean.
The students demanded Kelly’s resignation because, according to their grammar/spelling error-filled online petition, the students felt “traumatized” by the “profoundly damaging” experience of reading classics. One student told a very liberal blog that the “humanities curriculum is based heavily on Western canon and European classic literature, i.e. stuff that old racist and sexist white guys wrote down.”
Unfortunately, in June, Seattle University has caved in to the demands of the rather pathetic students who said they felt “traumatized” by the “profoundly damaging” experience of reading classic literature. Interim Provost Bob Dullea placed Kelly on administrative leave.
Well, last week, Kelly’s leave became permanent when she retired.
So, in the end, the “traumatized” little terrors of academia got their way.
