10 thoughts about Jason Arday, Cambridge, Nathan Cofnas, and the decline of Universities.

Vinay Prasad MD MPH:

Out of curiosity: I randomly picked 5 universities, and looked up their sociology department faculty. I randomly picked papers written by the faculty. Wow, my mind was blown. At least 60% was similar gibberish. Constant politically charged assertions— no underlying data. Anti-colonialism— everything is somehow a legacy of racial injustice and colonialism. Never mind— no actual data to support that claim. The climate catastrophe— Immigration injustice— the department looks like a Democrat think tank. I would even be ok with that, if it relied on good methods, or maybe even 10:1 included a scholar pushing Republican ideas— I mean even if just for funsies. I could find no example of a Republican idea from a sociologist department.
