The school’s most celebrated faculty member is Angela Davis, a lifelong Communist, who retained her membership card even after the fall of the Berlin Wall. Davis is one of seven designated “University Professors,” a title normally “reserved for scholars of international distinction.”

That’s my school too… good thing I was in the School of Engineering and just studied Comp Sci. They only try to turn you inot a lesbian communist 10% of the time.
