Why is Marxism taught at UW? It is an ideology of hate that promotes violence, class warfare, dictatorship of the proletariat, treating humans not as individuals but as members of a class. No country has benefited from Marxism. Marxism is responsible for 200 million deaths in the 20th century. The University of Washington should not hire Marxists for the same reason they should not hire Nazis. Can someone please explain what is going on at UW?

Love this, and knowing Jeri, I'll bet she learned at least 3-4 things that will improve Cengage's offerings. Here at Pragmatic Institute, when we train product managers for other companies, we focus extensively on what we call NIHITO (Nothing Important Happens In The Office). Its a borderline mandate that product managers get out into the market and listen directly to customers for met and unmet needs. That a Chief People Officer is practicing NIHITO speaks to Cengage's customer focus. Way to go!

Brian Raines thoughtfully explains the continuing challenges faced by those of us who come to the profession from atypical circumstances. He also exemplifies the life-changing power of higher education. As we continue to grapple with the many challenges facing higher ed, it is essential to stay focused on stories like Brian's. I often wonder what the world would be like had we not spent most of human history excluding people from education and limiting their potential based on accidents of birth. While we will never know what we could have created, it is clear to me that destroying a system that in a very short time has created incredible intellectual capital, improved the human condition immensely, and overall made our world a better place is foolish. Yes, higher ed needs to be made better. We need to prioritize student success and support, we need to embrace meaningful intellectual diversity, we need to be better citizens of the spaces we occupy. However, there is no scenario in which those shortcomings warrant the wholesale destruction of the best system of education the world has ever known. Many of us on the inside know this and are fighting to protect one of our country's most valuable assets. Those of you on the outside need to join us in the fight. The world's most creative and successful economy was built on the foundation created by higher education. Destroy the foundation and the structure will crumble.
