Everyone should be taken on their own merits and this has always been my conflict with teachers in my past. Sweeping generalization is a fallacy that helps nobody. That mentality seemed so prolific that it lead to the teacher having a near god complex as they believe the opposite about themselves. If the student is an idiot then they... are not. They are the all knowing that imparts knowledge and you should sit with your mouth open and absorb. Well, that turned out well as so many students turn into raging socialists that hate their country because they adapted their teachers beliefs. Back to me, I was curious to learn, not challenge and I would ask questions because I was paying attention to what the teachers were saying. I started asking questions they had no answers to and it doesn't go well when a teacher suddenly is met with the fact they are not omniscient. And heaven forbid you ask them to explain contradictions in their own teachings, from religion to science to physics. The incredible arrogance by teachers is renown for centuries as they tear into even their own that would dare question anything contrary to echo chamber called education. I was left with one blazing reality, I was learning from people that didn't care about me or my future or how things turned out for me. Even worse I was an idiot in their eyes, a moron, a fool, not worthy of their status. How well does education turn out when the educator has such a low view of their students? This professor does not understand as you stated and it would highlight what another stated, that actors and teachers are nearly always blatant narcissist's, believing they are simply better than those around them and this teacher stated exactly that "I feel students are idiots."

I remember a professor (white) telling me how hard it was to get tenure. He said it was incredibly difficult and he spent over 30 years trying to get it. He is known for being an amazing teacher who was nominated for a prestigious award and beloved by his students. If he can't get tenure, then most people are also struggling to get tenure. A lot of professors understandably would believe it to be about race, but I don't necessarily think it comes down to that. I think these people are gatekeepers who are trying to keep people out because they don't want their power structure threatened. I can give you a specific person that comes to mind. I feel like there's so much bureaucracy and it's really a "good ol' boys club" where there is some real barriers to upward mobility for everyone. I don't think it has so much to do with race, gender, or orientation as it does how much you are in the "good graces" of "certain people" at top. These people want you to constantly flatter their ego and if you don't do that then you just stay at the bottom indefinitely. I remember meeting some of the "people at the top" and many of them were self absorbed, arrogant, self aggrandizing people. I remember a very high up "VIP" telling me that "I just got lucky" with a film project. Like this guy wasn't capable of humbling himself enough to say "good job" to a first year graduate student. How pathetic do you have to be in order to be unwilling to say good job to a lowly student. I feel like people like this have no business being around students or young adults at all. These people at the top are petty sociopaths and narcissists, sorry to say. Therein lies the problem. I know that I'm not a VIP Warren, but I would love to chat about the politics of Emerson some time (or just ANY college in general). The politics have grown feverishly supercilious for both faculty and students at these places. I do think wealth plays a huge role in developing these delusional mindsets. It used to be that working class people could go to college and better themselves. Now the cost of these institutions have become so expensive that it's also turning into a "good ol' boys club" when it comes to who even attends. I think our age group may have been the last to actually have access to these institutions as working class people. It's exacerbated by the fact that many of these corporations used to require a bachelor's degree to even get through their filtering system. I went to undergrad in order to get an entry level customer service job because the post 2008 world was a like some kind of career apocalypse. I couldn't even get a retail job without a bachelor's degree. Fast forward to 2016 and I came to the conclusion that a graduate degree was necessary just to get an office job. I feel like most of these college kids and even professors just have no understanding of this experience. The barriers that our age group faced were profound. A lot of the POC who used to protest were all the children of rich college professors.....Some of which were racist themselves. I could tell you stories about antisemitism among the black student body that I interacted with on a daily basis. Then we could also get into the fact that some of the Chinese students used to talk absolute shit about other students in Mandarin Chinese and purposefully exclude others. I think race is a problem at colleges in a sense that it has become a tribal situation where POC are pitting themselves against white people. There's so much anger and resentment that is being misdirected towards the people who are least likely to be responsible for the problems that POC face. I think those issues are more class and economic related than they are race related. I would really enjoy watching a video about our particular age group (mid to late 80s babies).

The higher up I went, the lower the grade I got, still without giving me any reason. Until I finally went to the head of the faculty who explained to me that the model might have been good, but it is not what undergrads do.

After having listened to the frank pragmatism of your former professor, I can see why he didn't make tenure. He was skirting too close to conservative principles (roll up your sleeves and get to work) rather than building undergraduate activists, which is the goal of any liberal institution.

Would be interested if this prof had the stats on how many teachers (all races) want tenure and are qualified for it and how many of those who want tenure actually get it and what percentage of professors as a whole who are tenure are non white.

Look forward to the full conversation, IMO folk are definitely interested in long-form chats, look at the success of the JRE podcast. cheers for the content.

one of the biggest groups always excluded/misunderstood when it comes to Race on campus and adult life is Asian Americans (mainly Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Korean, Filipino) ... in my med school classes the Indian Americans are always the top scorers, in my clinical rotations at a top hospital the nurses were 30-40% Filipino American, in my undergrad physics and math courses the Asian Americans dominated,.... in general, they are much more science and engineering oriented even if they are liberal, whereas White Latin and Black liberals are much more race and sociology oriented (you see this in Europe too)... fascinating, but I think it has to do with how f**ed up education has been in America and the West for several decades OR maybe just a byproduct of slavery and colonialism causing downstream psychological issues among the masses.. the only people immune to it are relatively recent immigrants i.e. Asian Americans !

2:40 Best question and a very reveling answer. Color, culture and coital choices have nothing to do with logic, science or our ability to provide a diverse perspective on technical topics or any topic that is not specifically focused on color, culture or coital choice. Statistical reality, even when measurable, does not equate to any intentional weighting in favor of one race. Conversely, making complaints based on racial representation and not diversity of thought, is definitely racist.

I think we make the mistake of operating on the basis that our institutions are meritocratic in terms of how they operate, but this isn't true. Almost every single working-class American can attest to the fact that most companies are plagued by politicians and sycophants who game the system (or "play the game") in order to get ahead. It's an unspoken truth in the American workforce, and we all know it. Even those companies and institutions who genuinely try to operate in a meritocratic fashion are often compromised by people in leadership positions who have bad judgment due to a litany of reasons. If I had to put a number on it, I would say that America is maybe 20% meritocratic, and that's me being charitable.

I seen a meme the other day where they are going to run out of things to call racist in about six months.

You people are a huge problem, THEY ARE RAMPING UP TO GENOCIDE US and all you can do is pretend it is just going to go away.

TIL Emerson College had NO tenured black professors even in 2018. I grew up in Boston (51 now) and I always viewed Emerson as on Uber liberal school. What a BS well done marketing scam. 😳

When the student becomes the teacher.

He said the liberal professors and management are experimentalists, but I would argue they are instrumentalists… I then recognized that they are virtually synonymous terms and I would be arguing a distinction without a difference; a type of logical fallacy… It then made me realize that most of the social justice hysteria is over the semantics and pragmatics of words while ignoring the reality of the consequences… For instance, both sides are fighting over what is ultimately for or against the conflation of gender and sex (yet, even Scalia opined decades ago that gender is no longer synonymous with sex), but the liberals pull the conservatives into the weeds… Point is, if both sides, but mostly the left, stopped fighting over the semantics and pragmatics, the real issues could be addressed; like no matter what you call people, on average, men are stronger than women, undocumented immigrants have broken the law, and some people will never accept the reality of the authority of government…

The last teacher literally only hurts the student (and the people that have to work with him later) when there is a legitimate reason to fail him.

Selection for any post of job must be provably Objective and nothing to do with subjectivity.

A degree was a means of saying look at me I have achieved something difficult. If there are no standards and the degree is nonsense like so many are, it is less than worthless. Why less than worthless? It creates an expectation in the graduate that has no merit and can only lead to despair. Catering to minorities and incorporating their claims of victim hood into faux achievement is highly destructive. Good luck world.

I found it very interesting that the professor says he is stoic and then continue to proclaim his "feels" for the supposed institutional racism at the college. Is that not a complete 180 on the stoic claims? Maybe I got what he ment wrong though. I will lean to give him a pass because it was a somewhat unclear conversation on where he actually stood in the topic of racism against him.

Love the video but you really need to work on your audio...the interviews sound like they are recorded in a bathtub. Get some close mics like the Rode system and you'll be all set.

Could you discuss financing/donations to the universities and whether that influences the administration's directives? I do understand if this topic is off-limits due to job loss.

Interesting that in Australia, 'tenured' is not part of the University structure. Apparently, we use contracts of varying time frames. Can anyone here please add their experience in regards to that?

I don't have any experience but the tenure system originally came about so that universities couldn't punish faculty (fire them) for expressing their opinions. A bit of a double-edged sword though.

There is no such thing as racism, NO ONE HAS TO EXIST SOLEY TO SERVE BLAKS! We have a right to like and dislike who we choose!

This was an interesting video however your audio needs to be clear. Had to listen to the video twice to fully understand you and the other professor.

How many teachers were getting tenure at in 2016 2020? I thought college is cut down on doing that

If Emerson is racist, why are we footing the bill for forgiving the student loans for that institution? If Emerson is racist, why are we loaning money to their students at all? Just a guess, but if the money started drying up, the demand for racism would too.

Is this just a clip of your podcast?

Pretty sure that professor knows nothing about statistics.

In the end , it’s the tradesmen we really need in society , not another windbag academic . Society exists because of tradesmen, not whiny , spoiled academics .

!!!! When was this recorded? I might've guessed that your previous employers saw this before you released it...before they fired you. [EDIT: but they took back the computer & data, so maybe not.]

Any update on a daily wire show?

3:44 whats interesting tho.. is the problem when u only point at problems offer 0 solutions / compromises etc.. when things can’t be critiqued no matter how much u dislike it.. that’s a bad sign.. People had to point out, putting people in ovens is.. bad…. Doing experiments on people is bad.. and those who did t agree went to war.. but those in those countires were the vast majority agreed were persecuted..

It's interesting that your professor never explained why it was he wasn't offered tenure. Surely he should have been able to explain what it was that stopped him getting it...instead defaulting to his skin colour - an argument many people make to cover up other issues they don't wish to accept are faults of themselves. Bit ironic. Especially when he says he isn't inherently 'black'.

Isn't tenure a dying concept anyway? It appears basically in no other careers and it's not clear what it actually add to education either.

Never quite understand the dismissal of “trades workers” as potential powerful or influential people. Society itself would cease to function without them; pretty sure college doesn’t produce power, food, or anything these days.

How you think has everything to do with skin color when you think that skin color makes people inferior the way Charles Murray does.

Do some street epistemology, bilboard chris type stuff. Grab a camera and go find some random pedestrians to challenge to think about stuff. If you want another fluke viral video, you'll find it by interacting with totally random people and finding out what they think and how they think.
