Now, if we could only get Condi to speak at every university and college graduation in the country... |

An open letter to William P. Leahy, SJ, president of Boston College.
I am writing to resign my post as an adjunct professor of English at Boston College.
I am doing so -- after five years at BC, and with tremendous regret -- as a direct result of your decision to invite Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to be the commencement speaker at this year's graduation.
Many members of the faculty and student body already have voiced their objection to the invitation, arguing that Rice's actions as secretary of state are inconsistent with the broader humanistic values of the university and the Catholic and Jesuit traditions from which those values derive.
But I am not writing this letter simply because of an objection to the war against Iraq. My concern is more fundamental. Simply put, Rice is a liar.
She has lied to the American people knowingly, repeatedly, often extravagantly over the past five years, in an effort to justify a pathologically misguided foreign policy.

This is a good start!!!!
One down, bunches to go.
Quick, sign her up for more speeches at colleges across the country.
More: "Given the widespread objection to inviting Rice, I would like to think you will rescind the offer. But that is clearly not going to happen. Like the administration in Washington, you appear too proud to admit to your mistake. Instead, you will mouth a bunch of platitudes, all of which boil down to: You don't want to lose face.
"In this sense, you leave me no choice. I cannot, in good conscience, exhort my students to pursue truth and knowledge, then collect a paycheck from an institution that displays such flagrant disregard for both.
"I would like to apologize to my students and prospective students. I would also urge them to investigate the words and actions of Rice, and to exercise their own First Amendment rights at her speech."
Agreed. One down and about 150 to go.
Agreed. One down and about 150 to go.
Here's your hat. What's your hurry?

Excellent! We need to get Condie scheduled for more frequent speeches at more universitites!

Adjunct professor... means he taught maybe one or two classes a week.
Sir,
Who effing cares if you resign anyhow? Get the hell off the campus, you whining putz.
IOW, untenured, right? Deciding (or more likely, being forced) to leave anyway and you figue you'll just make it a political statement to cover your departure?
Buh-bye.
What do you call 100 resigning liberal professors?
A GOOD START!
Do you think that we could get her to speak at Colorado University? Maybe Ward Churchill would quit (life that is).
Wow, talk about flattering yourself.
Big effing deal. Almond is only an adjunct professor, and as such dumping his gig at BC will have virtually no adverse affect on his income. He's grandstanding.
BC is better off without this drama queen.
BTW the way, Steve, Secretary Rice was provost of Stanford when you were still trying to figure out the difference between your butt and your elbow.
One more Commie bites the dust.
Faster please.
Maybe Secretary Rice needs to do a whole lot more speeches at Universities.
