McCarthyism On The Cheap

NPR had some extensive coverage on this today:

An alumni group is offering students up to $100 per class to supply tapes and notes exposing professors who allegedly express extreme left-wing political views at the University of California, Los Angeles.

One of the professors calls it McCarthyism.

The year-old Bruin Alumni Association says it is concerned about professors who use lecture time to press positions against President Bush, the military and multinational corporations, among other things. Its Web site has a list of what it calls the college's 30 most radical professors.

$100 per class? What a bunch of Cheap Alumni Bastards (now there's a good title for them). It's not necessarily $100 per class either -- it is "up to $100" per class.
