Thank you for this post. Dr. Kors was one of the most challenging and substantive professors whose class it was a true honor to take. His classes in European intellectual history were fantastic, his teaching style unmatched, and his staunch advocacy of academic freedom were the academic experiences I treasure most from my college experience. His hideously unpleasant, frumpy, colleague, the Foucault-worshiping Lynn Hunt (oh was her last name appropos but for a letter) and the intolerant fascistic joke Peggy Sanday against whom Kors locked horns were such stereotypes of what is wrong with academe and to them and their views, Kors showed no quarter.
