UCLA students urged to expose 'radical' professors

A future Karl Rove in the making?


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A conservative alumni group dedicated to "exposing the most radical professors" at the University of California at Los Angeles is offering to pay students $100 to record classroom lectures of suspect faculty.

The Web site of the Bruin Alumni Association also includes a "Dirty Thirty" list of professors considered by the group to be the most extreme left-wing members of the UCLA faculty, as well as profiles on their political activities and writings.

UCLA Chancellor Albert Carnesale on Thursday denounced the campaign as "reprehensible," and school officials warned that selling or distributing recordings of classroom lectures without an instructor's consent violates university policy.

News of the campaign prompted former Republican congressman James Rogan, who helped lead impeachment proceedings against former President
Bill Clinton in the U.S. House of Representatives, to resign from the group's advisory board.

2. I think someone should form a group to offer a bounty for the names of

un-American traitorous facists who commit crimes against the Constitution and the Bill of Rights of the United States of America.

7. At least 3 members of the group's advisory board have resigned.

And the guy who started the group basically funds it. It's probably dead in the water.



"I am uncomfortable to say the least with this tactic," Rogan, now a lawyer in private practice in California, said in an e-mail resignation made public by the Los Angeles Times. "It places students in jeopardy of violating myriad regulations and laws."

At least two other members of the group's advisory board, which consists of more than 20 individuals, also have quit over the group's efforts to have students record their professors.

The group, which is not affiliated with UCLA or its official alumni association, is the creation of Andrew Jones, a 2003 UCLA graduate who said he runs the organization mostly on his own with $22,000 in private donations.

6. This "turn in your neighbor" mentality suits a monarchy/dictatorship

Not a free people.

8. When I heard this report on NPR, one of the "dirty" professors said it was

reminiscent of Stalin and the guy who started the group said that was just "left wing rhetoric".

[Nikki Stone 1]

10. No, this does sound like Stalin

I think the braver profs would be honored to be on a leftie list

[Mr_Spock]

9. Exactly.

Republicans HATE freedom for some reason. Nazi potential there for sure...

[Nikki Stone 1]

11. They hate us for our freedoms....

12. Dear Bruin Alumni Association:

I reject your premise that having liberal professors on campus is a bad thing. Have a nice day.
