Could it be, as I have stated, even though I still disagree with
President Maxwell, that "constructing the body" and other items of
lit and sociocrit (which I find in the Drake catalog) are not on most
student's "todo"
lists?
I have been under fire for well over 10 years for my criticism of the
swarms of neo-derridian druids who have taken over many departments
and have tried to keep the "teacher types" out, or have made sure
they don't get tenure. I must say that administrators are partly at
fault for hiring people who are likely to make publishing glib, silly
articles and monographs their number one
concern.
I wish President Maxwell luck, and I will be the first to praise him
if his experiment works out, but I still think it will be impossible
without skilled in-house language
specialists.
