More on the state of the academy

The discussion between Rose Nunez at No Credentials and Professor Michael Drout at Wormtalk and Slugspeak continues with these observations from Ms. Nunez. I find it disheartening to think that people like Rose -- who write so well and think so clearly -- have abandoned the academic field to the "resenters" (to steal a phrase from Harold Bloom) and the pomo shufflers. Professor Drout is, of course, always excepted from my unfair generalizations about the professoriate.
