If the name Leon Kass means anything to you, and you can master your repugnance, then read these articles:
Tough Love for the Humanities, by Serena Golden, 2009, Inside Higher Ed (News).
Kass Backwards, by Scott McLemee, 2009, Inside Higher Ed (Views).
Which amusing prompts various right-leaning crotchety academics to come out complaining how nasty, left-wing, and authoritarian academia is, and also to demonstrate how little they understand when they claim people have not understood Kass's "Wisdom Of Repugnance".
