LA Times Publishes Professor Redding’s Op-Ed
October 29, 2010
The Los Angeles Times published and op-ed piece by Professor Richard Redding entitled, “It’s Diverse if You’re Liberal,” which discussed what he called a lack of “intellectual diversity” in the academy. “Conservatives and libertarians are becoming increasingly rare in academia,” said Professor Redding. Read Professor Redding’s opinion piece here. In response, Professor Tim Canova wrote an op-ed for the San Francisco Daily Journal, which was entitled, “No Affirmative Action for Conservatives.” In that piece, Professor Canova wrote, “Perhaps psychologists should concern themselves with understanding why people with different political orientations are attracted to different career paths, rather than jumping to assumptions of bias in the academy.” Read Professor Canova’s op-ed here.
