Earlier this year DePaul University was given the first-ever "Lifetime Censorship Award" by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education for its long, inglorious history of punishing and suppressing mostly conservative speech.

The nation's largest Catholic university – which doesn't want students to hear about radical Islam's threat to gay people, vandalism against pro-lifers or criticism of race preferences – has appeared with regularity on FIRE's annual list of the worst colleges for free speech.

[...] DePaul is slashing dozens of staff positions to "place the university in a better long-term position to invest in strategic growth," according to a statement to staff Thursday obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.

The 62 full- and part-time staff members are mostly in administrative support roles, and they represent 3.5 percent of non-faculty workers. The statement didn't specify exact positions. The school avoided the ire of its faculty by sparing them any layoffs.

    Says the guy pretending to be a dead Greek philosopher while throwing in words that would have been strange to the Greeks.

    Pretending? Oh ye of little faith! We knew of Latin, even before they conquered us, and when we fought them, and when we had to educate them after the fact. Romans were only good at two things: engineering and war. We Greeks had to teach them art and philosophy, and pure science. That is what is being destroyed he by these modern Amway Barbarians (DeVos family, google it, homine!).
