Ones to Watch

The YCT released the new edition of the Professor Watch List. Fascinating document.

The Professor Watch List is designed to be a resource to the student body of the University of Texas. This report includes professors who push an ideological viewpoint on their students through oftentimes subtle but sometimes abrasive methods of indoctrination.
This List does not target professors for their opinions in or out of the classroom, and professors are not judged by their politics alone. What is considered is whether the professor respects and strives for intellectual honesty in his or her classroom through presenting a fair and balanced delivery of information that is not crafted to produce a certain mindset within the receiving student. Classroom presentation, instructor attitude and reading material are among applicable measurements of this standard.
Additionally, some professors will be listed on our Honor Roll. These professors embody an intellectually honest classroom or teach a subject we feel is important to higher education but is oftentimes downplayed, shunned or forgotten about by largely liberal campuses.
YCT does not advocate retaliation against listed professors, nor do we demand they change their teaching style. YCT members have made every effort to produce a non-partisan list.


Apparently, no one from AMS made the cut. Also, the population of the list makes me think that perhaps all members of YCT have chosen government, economics or similar for their course of study.
