| 310 | Anonymous | I find it abhorant, though not in any way unpredictable or surprising, that President George W. Bush would be seeking to compromise the reputation of an academic institution like SMU with a purely partisan demand. Please resist the pressure you are being put under to include the partisan institute on campus.
It is in your interest to do so, as history is most assuredly going to be very unkind to this puppet President and his band of Neocons. History will doubtless label him as a war criminal, though we may never have the satisfaction of him tried as one in our lifetimes.
You will rue the day you compromised your institution in perpetuity by accepting his terms. Frankly, it is worth losing the library rather than sully your credentials and hard-earned credibility, for as history is more and more harsh with him, your insititution will be more and more tarred with the same brush.
I am a lecturer at the University of California, Berkeley, and on the faculty in the Department of Internal Medicine at the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. I teach social work, communications and end-of-life care.
Please carefully consider how long you will have to live with the consequences if you permit this further blurring of the boundary between government and academia.
Thank you for your consideration of these comments. |
