Richard Landes on Winfield Myers: Professors Who Don’t Like Negative Feedback [on Lisa Anderson, Middle East studies, et al.]

Prof. Landes is a member of the SPME Board of Directors

In a follow-up to my last post about Walt and Mearsheimer’s unhappiness about having to defend their work, I post the following reflections by Winfield Myers, director of Campus Watch, on the broader unhappiness of the professoriate getting monitored by people who are not worried about getting a good grade.

Sissy Willis at Sisu remarked a while ago that the “left” has been talking to itself for so long that they don’t do well in responding to real objections. This certainly seems to be a sign of such weakness.

[Note: the text of Myers’s article follows in the SPME post.]
