Pennsylvania: Higher Ed Hearing into bias falls short of billing

Philadelphia Inquirer: Hearing into bias falls short of billing: The probe of professors said to inject politics into classes at Pa. public colleges drew just one student speaker

Yesterday’s hearing on academic freedom at Pennsylvania’s public universities was hyped by conservative activists as a “historic moment,” in which school administrators would finally be “called to account” in front of state legislators for allowing student “indoctrination and abuse” by leftist professors.

But the hearing at Temple University did not live up to that billing.

A professor scheduled to testify about alleged rampant liberal bias at Temple canceled. The sole student to appear before the legislative committee acknowledged he had never filed a formal grievance.
