CU is not Bruce
Congratulations to Bruce Benson for his appointment as president of the University of Colorado. If it can have consequences on the fundamentals and extraordinary success of his predecessor, Hank Brown of the University will also be served. Benson’s adopted by a number of leading healthy Democrats - including John Denver Mayor Hickenlooper and Denver Public Schools Superintendent Michael Bennet - was testimony to his career of many successes and skills for the job.
On the other hand, petty crime and the temperament to serve reaction to the selection Benson - the attempt to “de-Brucing-campaign, if you want - left Faculty, students and some Democratic politicians was indecent, as it was predictable. It was also symptomatic of serious problems deeply rooted in school.
The main opponents of his excuse was that Benson lacked advanced university level. It was a list. The position of president of the university, by the day, if a disciple to keep the post for a limited period, then return to a level of education. CU is a vast enterprise of three universities, each with their own sub-Chancellor and administrators. Benson, the CEO of a large company and its main tasks include the management, policy, political networking and raised large sums of money to supplement equipment school. Look at the success of Dan Ritchie as chancellor of the University of Denver, including a career in business. This is not a job for a shy professor of advanced level in English literature.
I say the profession objection Benson was a pretext, because the real opposition was based on ideology and its own narrow interests. Faculty critics would have preferred one of its own: an ideologue in conformity with the dominant culture left CU (and most other schools), someone who vogue now, the perception that universities should be centres political activism, recruitment and indoctrinate impressionable young minds outwards and the reorganization of the world, like the Liberals.
If the Faculty left to defend academic freedom, they are really defending their privilege abuse of academic freedom. You have to believe they are fully licensed to do what they want in their classrooms. They do not. And if they do, it should be changed. Provocateur discussion was one thing; proselytizing but something very different.
Then there’s mandate. It was justified, given that a measure of protection of academic freedom. It has since degenerated into a security coverage for the work of his life employment, livestock and self-satisfaction insulation Faculty of accountability and standards of productivity. The Faculty body do not want all foreigners aufwühlend their cup of rice.
