About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

We're All Badgers Now

Here is a very interesting piece in a "point-counterpoint" style, but with both participants agreeing that unionization in academia was not a bad thing after all. That is especially surprising coming from Stanley Fish, a literary theorist whose writing I find generally distasteful.  (In particular, as his Wikipedia entry notes, Fish has stated that "ideas have no consequences," a truly repulsive assertion.)  Anyway, it's well worth a read.
