http://www.whistleblowers.org/index.html

"...a nonprofit educational advocacy organization that works for the enforcement of environmental laws, nuclear safety, civil rights and government and industry accountability through the support and representation of employee whistleblowers. The primary goal of the Center is to ensure that whistleblower disclosures about improper government and industry actions that are harmful to the environment and the public health are defended and heard. To accomplish this goal, the Center works with whistleblowers to expose wrongdoing by government and industry officials, advocate specific corrective actions, and hold officials accountable. In pursuing this goal the Center serves the function of check and balance on regulatory agencies in order to assist in the protection of the public health and safety."

"Objective:  Provide information and support for a return to academic standards in higher education. The widespread use of the student evaluation of teaching (SET) data as a control device has caused grade inflation and course work devaluation. SFRTAS encourages research on faculty pander pollution, dysfunctional aspects of SETs, misuse of SET data by administrators, dishonesty of students on SETs, invalidity of SET information, denial of due process from use of SET, defamation, impression management, post-tenure reviews, disappearing tenure, and reasons for grade inflation."

If, like me and a zillion other teachers, you have experienced a progressive "dumbing down" in your student population over the years, you might be interested in this site. Especially recommended: the article "The New Generations: Students Who Don't Study" by Henry H. Bauer.
