PSEUDOSCIENCE. Good news on the radio tonight: the trustees at Florida State voted not to set up a college of chiropractic. The newscast specifically mentioned professors using the "P" word to describe the practice. University Diaries has a bit of coverage; FSUblius has yet to weigh in (is he hoisting multiple Sprechers? Or is Coach Sue's team playing tonight?)

The Superintendent awaits similar plain-speaking about environmental studies programs that use worst-case (high-sigma, low p, long t) global warming scenarios as consensus forecasts, and the embrace of astrology in Womens' Studies gatherings.

Amusingly, FSUblius's most recent post (as of 2200 CST) reeks of the behavior of cartels. Existing chiropractic colleges are among the opponents of the program. We know this litany: the existing service is adequate; the applicant is not competent to provide additional service; if additional service is required, the existing providers can do better.
