Permalinkdon’t already have it there."
It's from the syllabus of an old computer science course.

"Work on Minority Issues:
Professor Matloff lived in an ethnically-mixed East Los Angeles
neighborhood during his early childhood, helping to shape his lifelong
support for affirmative action and activism in improving conditions for
people of color in general and the impoverished, as well as improving
the status of women. Starting with his work in high school in the
election campaign of a black woman (Myrlie Evers), his quest for social
justice has been a major driving force in his life.
He writes frequently about these issues, such as his support of
affirmative action, his exposure of age discrimination and abuse of
foreign worker visa programs in the tech industry, and his defense of
immigrant Asian-American scientists who have been discriminated against
in our national laboratories (Los Alamos and NASA). Prof. Matloff has
been a recipient of the UC Davis Distinguished Public Service Award, in
recognition of his work in these and other areas.
Dr. Matloff brings these ideas into his teaching as well. His department
has its own ethics course, ECS 188, which he has taught several times.
His reading list and assigned term paper reflect this."
If I poke around I'm sure I can find some anti-MS\Windows whining from
this academic.
