(Also just in: sun sets in west, rises in east!)

In other collegiate news, Betsy Newmark writes that Princeton (home of Peter Singer and Cornel West) has seen quite a drop in donations this year.

She also notes that at Harvard, home to the man who sent West packing to Princeton, and who’s now under-fire from its remaining professors for daring to say the bloody obvious, a poll finds that student satisfaction ranks near the bottom of a group of 31 elite private schools.

Strange days for academia. Of course, this still ranks as the strangest indeed.
