General Polk died about 1 mile from my house here in Kennesaw, GA.

So a private university can't change its name if it wants?

Is there any school left in the USA that has academic excellence as its main organizing principle, instead of diversity, political correctness etc. University of the South was on my short list of schools to which I was prepared to send my kids - the list seems to get shorter every month.

Another part of the Episcopal Church going to hell in a handcart.

Pitiful.

A wonderful university where the classical education was king (Latin, Greek, and British lit!), and the buffeting and destructive winds of PC little more than rattled the shutters. But as VMI and the Citadel fell, I knew it was only a matter of time.

Sigh. I attended Sewanee when Reagan was president. It seems I've now lost both in a short space of time.

"I will not walk with your progressive apes,
erect and sapient. Before them gapes
the dark abyss to which their progress tends --
if by God's mercy progress ever ends,
and does not ceaselessly revolve the same
unfruitful course with changing of a name."

Possibilities:

They can become the University of the Damn Yankees. However my guess is that they currently serve a demographic that would be offended by that.

They can remove the South from their name, but their location in the South may be offensive as well. So perhaps they should move.

• They could move to Chicago and see if their PR firms likes them any better.
• They could move to San Francisco and embrace decidely non-southern values such as Homosexuality.
• Or perhaps they should just embrace being the University of the South, let loose with a rebel yell and put their foot up the backsides of a certain PR firm.

Episcopal ping

The absolutely absurdity of socialist driven, politcal correctness never ceases to amaze me.

NEW WORD ALERT!

[PAR35]

Didn't Southern Methodist University in Dallas recently change its name to just "SMU"?

[marron]

the school now has a Women’s Studies Department with course offerings such as "Introduction to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender studies."

If they've sold their soul already, then it doesn't matter what they call themselves.

The very fact that they went to a liberal PR firm tells me they have lost their way, and lost sight of what they are trying to do. Ask a soulless liberal what you are doing wrong, and he will tell you that you aren't soullessly liberal enough. Every time.

Somewhere, we need a university with a focus on timeless truth, and excellence. They can call themselves whatever they want, a certain class of student will seek them out.

apostate ecusa university struggles to become even more PC ping.

Liberals. Destroy everything they touch.
