    They are not paid to give their "ideas", they are paid to teach an approved curriculum and not to give reign to their personal political beliefs.

    There are actually some complicated math formulas out there, and if a professor shares a work in progress and you record that, that's taking preliminary ideas and giving it to someone else. Would a company want an exhibit model to be taken apart and photographed by rival companies?

    One of my professors looks at the effects of political parties on political violence. She thinks political parties don't have an effect on political parties. Is that her opinion, or the result of her research? Their research are facts.

    Yeah that doesn't make it morally permissible either.

    What does that sentence mean, and then think that professors are being paid to do... research.

    Sorry, class had just started. Good catch.

    Political parties don't have an effect on political violence.

    Call it a rare opportunity for academic oversight by the public.

    LOL... yes.. LOL. The true measure of a liberal mind. Monetized indoctrination. Use the law to shield themselves from both scrutiny and public opinion of their real actions.

    Because they are doing exactly that; which is why they are complaining about angry students recording their 'classes' and spreading the word. There are NEVER supposed to be any repercussions for leftist 'educators' practicing ideological indoctrination.

    Correct. It's actually during grading when the real nastiness occurs. If your answers do not parrot the professor's liberal slant then your grades suffer. I know private tutors who drill that into the hard heads of their private students; that is, that they MUST swallow their pride and parrot back the leftist indoctrination in order to receive a fair grade. That's just the way it is inside most higher level institutions nowadays.

    All of your papers are going in the trash anyway (they're not going to keep them, and surely you aren't), so parrot back the dogma, get your sheepskin, call it a revolving parrot purchase, and never look back.

    Sure they do.

    Are you suggesting the Brown Shirts had no impact on violence?

    Recording lectures is purposely excluded from Yulee's claim as a form of note taking which is permitted in all workplace circumstances even in 2 party states like Florida.

    ''

    That's what my professors argues from her research. Her research has lead her to believe that political parties don't have an effect on political violence. Is that her personal belief, or a fact?

    That's why public oversight folks are remotely attending the lectures -- to see if the prof's are nuts or not, and decide for themselves.

    Why? Should the Catholic Church be able to oversee what Astronomers are doing? The point of doing research, especially on politics is ironically enough to not make it politicized. Research needs to be about the free exchange of information, and that can't be done when researchers are worried about the political consequences of their research.

    Everybody should have free access if they want that information in the lectures -- which is not research, but information given for students to get a grade. They're not asking for free semester hours on a transcript.

    Why? Why does average joe who isn’t a student in the class need access to that info? Because that would be free semester hours.

    Absolutely; it is a survival game. But that aside, it definitely opens up the eyes of some students in regards to just how ideologically infested and thus academically corrupted higher institutes of learning have become.

    Or how do you know it’s just because the public isn’t scientifically literate? It’s not about ideology but instead the research is hard for citizens to read and understand.

    The students pay thousands to get an accredited degree, not for the information. I used to go to Harvard extension classes for a greatly reduced rate to be taught by some of the finest scholars in the country.

    Real scholars love to share their knowledge, not profit from it.

    Propagandists like these are experts at taking short statements out of context and making them into something they're not, then blowing them out of proportion for public consumption. It's called "fake news."

    You know at many universities, you can sit in the lecture as much as you want, but what youre paying for in the piece of paper that is given out by the university when you have finished with all the lectures. There is no "theft" of a professors ideas when most of the kids come out espousing the same talking points as the professor.

    That's at the discretion of the professor and those are their ideas.
