Remember, if I publish one to five paragraphs like this locally, everyone will know to which meetings I refer and of whom I speak. Current paragraph one:
The rhetorical sleight of hand used in the attempt to discredit AAUP principles on academic freedom and tenure as well as to justify the marginalization of faculty senates resembles that used to discredit traditional university education and promote for-profit institutions and MOOCs. As academic blogger Undine indicates in her discussion of a promotional piece on MOOCs from the April 29 New York Times, faculty criticism of outsourced education is represented as fear of losing status. The defense of face-to-face teaching is reinterpreted as a lack of care for students “shut out” of traditional courses. The sharing of original insights based on current research is the dull practice of “writing one’s own lectures” or “one way delivery of content,” while the use of class time to administer a commercial educational product is “student centered” and modern. In a recent meeting on teaching, the presenters enacted the format they were advocating against.
Axé.
