[Cincinatus' Wife]

***Many wanted to know why, if Alpine and Sul Ross were filled with airheads, Sechrest stayed. (He said it was because of the money -- he makes $96,000 a year as a professor -- and his academic freedom, "most likely because no one has any idea what I'm writing about.") Almost everyone in Alpine was furious. Most insisted Sechrest was simply wrong.

........The reaction to Sechrest's article didn't stop at hostility. A petition circulated on campus calling on students to boycott his summer course offerings. Earlier this month, the university, citing budget cuts, informed him that he would be teaching -- and paid for -- just two summer courses, rather than the four he expected; the move would slash his income by $12,000. Furious, Sechrest accused the university of punishing him for his views and trying to drive him to quit. *** Source

Well, duh!

Personally I would fire him. If he has no respect for the town or the students then he shouldn't be teaching there.

I have known teachers who hated their students. The damage done by those sadistic SOB's had to be seen to be believed.

Unlike the good prof, those dumb, ignorant Texans seem to understand that words have both meaning and consequences.

Boycotting his classes? Cool!! And remarkable that it might actually have an effect via the administration. Though I think the fact that Sechrest included Mexicans in on his ire might have something to do with that
