This article (via Brad DeLong) was written by the California chapter of the National Association Of Scholars. It provides a few anecdotes that it uses to describe the intellectual corruption of the state universities in California. One of the anecdotes is reported to be by a student in a computer science course (61 A) that is not in the college's curriculum. The article is timely, during a period in which funding for the state college system is under economic pressure. Brad DeLong wondered why the LA Times published this kind of "research". The link above is to a description of the NAS in Wikipedia. The group was founded and funded by conservatives who oppose multiculturalism and affirmative action. It is the kind of group which would argue that climate scientists should give equal time to climate change denialists.
