…and of course they aren't satisfied, which should be a warning to any school that thinks of capitulating and substituting juvenile consumerism for academic judgment. This remark by a faculty member is apt:
Meanwhile, defenders of Hum 110 — which currently begins with the Epic of Gilgamesh and ends with the Bible and Apuleius’ The Golden Ass — have argued that critics err in transposing modern notions of race into the course, or even misunderstand it altogether.

Perhaps Reed should make all incoming students read Adolf Reed instead?
