• W2001940887 abstract "Whenever there discussion of an issue that both factually complex and emotionally significant, it important that the arguments be ad res (related to the issue itself) rather than ad hominem. Fruitful discussion also requires the minimization of confusion, and this entails identifying instances in which central terms are used in different and/or contradictory senses.Although I some minor disagreements with Kimura's and Klatt's papers, my major disagreements, perhaps not surprisingly, are with the remaining three papers. Accordingly, given the space limitations of this commentary, I will comment only on those three papers.Favreau's paper. -- The paper rests on a distinction between and left-liberal policies. In my view, this distinction, when applied to PC in academia, irrelevant, unjustified, and misleading. It irrelevant because it ad hominem The central issue whether PC exists and what effects it has, rather than the supposed characteristics and motivations of those who draw attention to PC. The distinction unjustified because Favreau does not produce any evidence that my or Kimura's writings exhibit our possible political views. Nor does Favreau produce evidence that Kimura or I advocated that things were fine in an earlier golden age -- hiring was not biassed, the curriculum needed change, sexual harassment didn't exist, etc. (p. 6). This statement simply sets up a straw man.Favreau's use of the term is, most importantly, misleading when she asserts that those who oppose PC (labelled conservatives) have proposed redesigning universities to make them market-responsive (p. 7). This lumps traditionalists who view higher education's prime function as the acquisition of knowledge for its own sake, with those who view the university as an instrument of modern society. The latter view can be held by those who support corporatist goals of market-responsivity or by those who support social-engineering goals of so-called equity, i.e., by those who are either socially conservative or socially leftist (see also Furedy, 1989).Favreau states that she uses these labels more for convenience than accuracy (p. 7). It indeed difficult to find handy labels for the views that academics hold of the university. In this case, the attempt to label creates confusion. My advice that she drop the labels and concentrate instead on ad res -- what Kimura, Klatt, and I actually written about PC on Canadian campuses.Stark's paper. -- Stark appears to be an even more enthusiastic supporter of PC than Favreau, but the support provided for PC not compelling, because the paper uses terminology that cognitively empty, though laden with emotion, and makes statements that are false to the point of absurdity. An example of empty terminology the use of the term academic violence, for which the paper's Fig. 1 purports to provide a recipe (p. 8). Elsewhere Stark asserts (with reference to her 1995 paper) that women on Canadian campuses work in an environment that is not only chilly, it violent- physically violent at times, but rather consistently psychologically violent, psychologically toxic (p. 7). When a term like violence used in such a broad way, it loses any cognitive significance. More than this, this broad useage detracts from reasoned debate.An example of an absurd assertion the claim that no harmed by PC (p. 9). Could one say this sincerely to the faculty and students whose careers and learning been damaged such as those in the cases cited by me and Klatt in this symposium, and those cited in other publications such as Fekete (1994)? …" @default.
