	Rod Dreher on Cornel West on National Review Online
		West said no, because those colleges are unlikely to be able to match his six-figure Harvard salary, and because he would be expected to teach three or four classes each semester — twice his teaching load at Harvard.
		Thus West's frequent appearances in public forums and on television, where he advocates his left-wing racialist vision in a warm, lively style that makes him popular with audiences, only increase his market value as a public intellectual — which is not the same thing as his actual value as a scholar.
		Cornel West is a philosopher of pragmatism, but nobody's going to put him pay him $15,000 to come speak about the influence of Richard Rorty on the American philosophical tradition.
