College rankings should include diversity, engineering dean argues

Schools hoping to attain an “B” in this category must boast an 83%-minority-or-higher student population and disavow all remaining white students.

Title IX helps girls, but leaves boys behind, women’s advocate contends

Law prof: Investigate NRA for ‘profiting from dead children,’ not PP

That’s dumb. The doesn’t advocate for the killing of children as one of its core services, else it wouldn't give courses in firearm safety. Planned Parenthood, on the other hand...

The professor accuses both the left and the right of “constitutional extremism,” stating that the two sides aggressively defend the First and the Second Amendment, respectively. She may want to check the first part of that allegation.

Ignoring Confederate history costs Vanderbilt $1.2M

Prof: affirmative action ‘not necessary or desirable’

Yes, you read that right and no, it’s not April Fool’s. A professor has said these words. Hopefully he won’t be “disappeared” by his colleagues.
