I agree with david (#21). I’m not a scientist, but I am a UVA alumnus who is completely dismayed by this development. Although I have had differences with my undergraduate alma mater–Dartmouth College–for several years, I regarded UVa as insulated from some of the worst academic excesses by virtue of its Jeffersonian heritage and its status as a public institution in a state that was at least somewhat conservative in orientation. Evidently, the university’s leadership is only too eager to show that it isn’t really any different from other campuses where ideology is more important than intellectual integrity.
