Shockley controversy stirs over teaching genetics at Stanford
Nobel laureate William Shockley faces academic pushback after Stanford rejected his undergraduate course on genetic factors. Protests disrupted a Sacramento State lecture, while Stanford considers an inquiry into the decision. The debate centers on academic freedom and the need to expose undergraduates to controversial theories. Separately, Santa Barbara Soroptimists plan a 1930s 40s big band night at Granada Theater to raise funds for a Girls Club pool, featuring Carle, Crosby, Martin, and Whiting.
