Conservative law school professors commented on their upcoming departures from academia following UCLA law Professor Eugene Volokh’s announced move to a conservative think tank.
Gail Heriot, a professor at the University of San Diego School of Law, discussed her planned exit from academia in an email to The College Fix.
“I can only speak for myself and not for my four other center-right faculty colleagues who are also in the process of retiring.” Heriot wrote. “But in recent years it became obvious that USD’s administration would rather not have someone with my views around.”
“I figured I could accomplish a lot more in life if I didn’t have to deal with the everyday stresses and strains of being somewhere I’m not wanted,” she continued.
