Yale wins Campus Outrage Award

The Collegiate Network has given its annual award to highlight the negative influence of political correctness to Yale University for enrolling a former Taliban official with a fourth-grade education. “Yale pursued [Sayed Rahmatullah] Hashemi’s admission in the name of that sacred cow, diversity, which now appears to extend not only to people of various sexes, creeds, races, ethnicities, sexual preferences and practices, but also to enemy combatants who make war upon the United States,” the conservative group said.

For allegedly being institutions of higher learning, a lot of these highly touted schools are “stuck on stupid”.

The winner of the second-place 2006 Campus Outrage Award, also called the Polly Award — “Polly” being an abbreviation of the term “political correctness” — was DePaul University, which suspended adjunct professor Thomas Klocek, without a hearing, after he attempted to debate students handing out pro-Palestinian literature.

The group also said DePaul criticized campus College Republicans after the group organized a protest against liberal activist Ward Churchill, who was delivering a speech at the university. Mr. Churchill, a University of Colorado ethnic studies professor, last year wrote that the U.S. deserved to be attacked on September 11, 2001. “Apparently, free speech is allowed at DePaul only as long as it accords with the political views of the university administration,” read the Collegiate Network’s response.

The other five award recipients include Stanford University, the College of the Holy Cross, the entire University of California system, the University of Iowa and Canisius College.
