Assistant Professor (Lecturer) - Criminology

The Dept of Sociology & Criminology at the University of Utah is hiring 2 non-TT lecturers. Ideal candidate should bridge Soc & Crim but the teaching need is primarily in criminology.

Happy to chat with anyone who may be interested.

Florida Introduces β€œSanitized” Sociology Textbook The volume was created after a state review found that existing course materials violated a law prohibiting general education courses from teaching about systemic inequality. So far, at least two univ...

β€œThe state-approved version doesn’t include chapters on media and technology, global inequality, race and ethnicity, social stratification, or gender, sex and sexuality.”

Just horrifying. All faculty should refuse to use this.

Indiana University banned its student newspaper from printing just days before homecoming weekend β€” after firing the paper’s advisor when he refused to censor critical coverage. 

That would be bad enough on its own, but FIRE is taking this one personally, as the Indiana Daily Student reported this hostile campaign was due in part to its coverage of FIRE’s ranking Indiana University as the worst public university for free speech.

You read that right. The school’s response to the news that they are bad at free speech … is to censor the news. It’s ironic β€” and not just in the Alanis Morissette sense β€” that these actions will likely push its overall ranking even lower next year. At least we can’t fault them for consistency.

Why did Indiana University attack and cut its own student newspaper?

Well, in a twist of irony any English professor would call clichΓ©d, it turns out IU did it because they were angry about the students' reporting on a FIRE report naming IU as the worst public university for free speech in the US.

A&M Dean removed following student complaints over curriculum The Department of Justice has also acknowledged the situation and said it would be investigating.

Texas A&M’s President just removed a dean and department head from their positions after they supported a professor whose lesson on gender was challenged by a student. www.kbtx.com/2025/09/09/a...

Also - final comment - on Tuesday the bus broke down so I got on trax and then it broke down. I really pondered in that moment buying the $1100 parking permit again bc wtf

Also, I usually can’t find a seat on trax so I try to take the bus to campus more now. The lack of seats at prime time could be a deterrent.

Curious how they estimate this given that I see no one swipe their ID cards when they get on/ off. Including me 😬
