My contempt for school administrators grows stronger every day. I don't know if there's a more arrogant, dumb and hostile group of people out there. They make the MSM seem positively virtuous.

Shocking, I I know, but there is no support for Ward Churchill at FIRE's website. Strange, given their mission statement:

The mission of FIRE is to defend and sustain individual rights at America's increasingly repressive and partisan colleges and universities. These rights include freedom of speech, legal equality, due process, religious liberty, and sanctity of conscience -- the essential qualities of individual liberty and dignity. FIRE's core mission is to protect the unprotected and to educate the public and communities of concerned Americans about the threats to these rights on our campuses and about the means to preserve them.


OK. /sarcasm off

This truly is remarkable. While I often had disagreements with professors on political issues more than not I was able to continue to get along well with them and agree to disagree. In some instances I might have feared a lower grade than I deserved because of a political disagreement, but it never crossed my mind a student could be thrown out of school for an expressed opinion. Is this a private school? Is there anything within the school's code of conduct that says "If you support corporal punishment we will kick you to the curb" or something similar?

As jaded as I am about our leftist university system, amazingly, I can still be surprised.

Funny what totally intolerant fascists the so called "liberals" are. Why am I not surprised.

The headline says dismiss, I am sorry I never went to college , is that the same as expulsion? I realise you dismiss those who work for you but how can you dismiss someone who pays to attend your school.

This is really funny. A Catholic college that expels a student for supporting capitol punishment. The nuns must have beat these professors silly when they were young, for them to be so afraid of just the mention of the idea of spanking.

Ed school department chairs are often "queen bees" and function these days as ideological gatekeepers to careers in education. A student's ideology must be perceived as either liberal or not threatening to liberals in order to complete an ed school program. The usual way for conservative teacher credential candidates to be discouraged is by giving failing grades in washout courses such as multiculturalism or student teaching, which are extremely subjective in nature and difficult to appeal. Grade appeals are dismissed on the basis of "philosophical disagreements" between students and professors. Such "philosophical disagreements" are apparently not covered by college / university "academic freedom" and policies of "diversity" and "non-discrimination."

Yet in January 2005, with no prior warning, Leogrande dismissed McConnell from Le Moyne. In the dismissal letter, Leogrande stated that she had reviewed McConnell’s grades for courses he took during the summer and fall semesters and had “discussed” his work with his professors. Leogrande wrote, “I have grave concerns

I wonder how much in the way of assets this school has?

I would be looking to own it all!
