Portland State University moves to punish professor for uncovering bad scholarship
They’re coming for you next: Portland State University has moved to punish one of its professor who participated in a project to uncover bad and corrupt leftwing scholarship in the social sciences by writing fake papers and getting them published.
Peter Boghossian, an assistant professor of philosophy at Portland State University in Oregon, led a trio of scholars last year who submitted what they called “intentionally broken” papers to leading publications on gender, race and sexuality. Several of the absurd pieces were published.
Now, Portland State has initiated disciplinary action against Mr. Boghossian for an alleged breach of the institution’s ethical guidelines.
…The punishment Portland State may impose on Mr. Boghossian was unclear Monday morning, and the university did not immediately respond to questions posed about its process.
It must be emphasized that the three academics who participated in this project loudly considered themselves leftwing and liberal. No matter. They did something that revealed the hollowness and dishonesty of the entire “race, gender, and sex” academic community. That must not be allowed.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I bet an alumni was one of those tricked into publishing this stuff and they called the administration about it.
Easy enough to check.

I am wondering what the academic world would look like if private enterprise got involved like with the government shut down?
Private enterprise is involved in the academic world, however, the economic model has been absolutely ruined by student loans and the ceilings on tuition, which, inevitably, become the floor as well. Once a regulatory body sets a limit on what they will pay, the limit becomes the market price. (ref drug prices and all the ads on TV for braces…..a $5 knee brace becomes a $150 knee brace because that’s what medicare allows in the payment formula)

Wherein Rogan & Haidt spend a bit of time discussing Peter Boghossian, Portland State University, and bizzaro academic stuff in general. (along with what you’d expect from Haidt and Rogan.)
(Boghossian btw, does not have tenure, so he’s probably cooked.)
