Truly sad. I attended Harvey Mudd College (also a member of the Claremont Colleges). My impression of the Claremont McKenna students was that they tended more towards the conservative side and were mostly studying in the areas of business, law and government. Then again, it looks as if this had nothing to do with the students, but with a contracted (i.e. not tenured) professor. Not sure if she had a shot at tenure before this stunt. I really hope she doesn't have a shot after it.

As a CMC alumni and someone still connected to CMC, I can tell you that you are correct. The campus is getting more liberal, but it's still the most conservative of the 5 undergraduate colleges.

The phone was buzzing last night from a number of friends/large donors talking about holding out until she is fired. Also, an alumni e-mail campaign has already started to get this professor out. There are a number of alumni originally not happy with President Gann....yesterday's weak response did not help.
