Cultural Studies: Bad Image or Food Fight?

Brad
DeLong: Were Mark Yudoff to ask me, for example, I would have no hesitation
in recommending that Cultural Studies at U.C. Davis be defunded--and the money
transferred to U.C. Davis's fine History and Economics departments. (I knew the
UC
funding fights would pick up again!)

It is unfortunate that Professor De Long now joins with Professor Bainbridge in calling for fellow U.C. faculty to be dismissed. Bainbridge callously called for the new law school at UCI to be shut down.
