Research at the college level is submitted to a peer group that verifies, quantifies and then verifies again and approves or denies the research for publishing. For years this process has been criticized as a liberal social justice propaganda machine and not a true academic research endeavor. Some people decided to expose the liberal sham for what it was. They were all applauded by many for exposing this joke of a system, however Portland State has decided to take time to determine whether to punish one such researcher for his part in exposing the corruption. It has gotten so bad on some college campuses that they would consider punishing those that expose their own liberal social justice corruption.

Another seven of the 20 were rejected, with the rest pending review before the ruse was uncovered.
Helen Pluckrose, James Lindsay, and Portland State University professor Peter Boghossian documented and announced their hoax project in an interview with The New York Times in October 2018.
Since then, their work uncovering the errs of academic research has garnered praise and support from thousands of students, academics, and other individuals across the world.
The trio refers to their project as an analysis of “grievance studies,” which encompasses a variety of fields within the humanities, such as LGBT, women, and gender studies. The group’s suspicion going into the project was that certain fields in academia have become more focused on “ideologically-motivated scholarship” rather than the pursuit of fact.
