The End of Science

from Steve Sailer:

The End of Science

Having fixed the housing market, the federal government is turning its attention to fixing science. John Tierney writes in the NYT on the inevitable aftermath of the Larry Summers affair:

Until recently, the impact of Title IX, the law forbidding sexual discrimination in education, has been limited mostly to sports. But now, under pressure from Congress, some federal agencies have quietly picked a new target: science.

The National Science Foundation, NASA and the Department of Energy have set up programs to look for sexual discrimination at universities receiving federal grants. Investigators have been taking inventories of lab space and interviewing faculty members and students in physics and engineering departments at schools like Columbia, the University of Wisconsin, M.I.T. and the University of Maryland.

Uh-oh.

Yeah, just what we need in America now - dumbing down our universities...even more.

when will the nonsense end? At this point, probably when the egalitarian left has damaged society to the point where we cannot afford it any more. When you're big and fat and gas is 1.50 a gallon you can be wasteful.
