The Cult of Social Work
Academic departments of Social Work, like their kindred departments in Schools of Education, are more like cults than scholarly enterprises. FIRE reports today that the Binghamton University Department of Social Work is retaliating against a student who dared to challenge the cult’s leaders:
The department ordered the suspension of a master’s student for one year with no guarantee of return, required him to apologize, and demanded that he publicly disavow his own views after he put up posters challenging the department for having hired the executive director of the Binghamton Housing Authority (BHA)—an agency the student thought was responsible for social injustice.
