Alumni Group Offers UCLA Students Rewards For Monitoring Professors

HeadlineJan 19, 2006

In campus news, a UCLA alumni association is offering students up to $100 dollars to monitor and tape-record leftist university professors. The website for the Bruin Alumni Association hosts a list of what it calls the university’s 30 most radical professors. Education professor Peter McLaren, one of the professors included on the list said: “Any sober, concerned citizen would look at this and see right through it as a reactionary form of McCarthyism.” At least one member of the group’s advisory board has resigned in protest.
