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."

I am writing to resign my post as an adjunct professor

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?

What do you call 100 resigning liberal professors?

A GOOD START!

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.

"But my dear professor Almond, she is the chief diplomat of the United States. Of course she lies! (and lies beautifully, BTW) Is that not the main function of a diplomat? After all, if diplomats told the truth, the UN General Assembly would resemble a mosh pit."

I'm sure they'll miss this guy. What an arrogant moron. Where the hell does he think our freedoms come from? Who does he think protects them? I am livid over this. But coming from Boston, no surprise.
