CINCINNATI, OHIO - Activities such as uxoricide, proselytizing,
defenestration, perfidy, and even flagellation may soon become crimes in
many states due to the aggressive lobbying efforts of the Association
of American Colleges and Universities, a report by the conservative Cato
Institute warns.
"Take the name of our organization, for example," said spokeswoman Seneca Tarpeius. "The Cato Institute advocates choice. We don't believe anyone should be forced to read De Agricultura to learn about Cato's views on labor relations or the free market. And we oppose unnecessary laws that seek to ban practices fundamental to our market economy such as proskinesis."
Yet as the value of a liberal arts degree becomes increasingly subject to question, many liberal arts colleges throughout the country feel they need to "get with the times" and establish their worth by entrenching themselves in the legal system.
"Look at how the mania for political correctness has created jobs for an entire class of otherwise useless individuals," said Alexi Hung, Senior Assistant Vice Director of External Relations for the AACU. "Do you really think anyone would have an interest in marketing if it wasn't for a massive proliferation of regulation that makes it more profitable to sell than to produce? The AACU is just beginning to do what everyone else is doing."
"Our advocacy benefits society. Stercoraceous olfaction, for example, is a social blight. It's completely non-actionable at the present, because the expertise doesn't exist to describe this criminal activity committed by would-be rapists. Only those with advanced liberal arts degrees, who have been educated to remove their persons from the equation, are qualified to handle accusations of 'S.O.'
"The goal of our advocacy is to make sure the entire world knows that."
