Shock Decision: University of Illinois Denies William Ayers Emeritus Status
The Blaze ^ | 23 September 2010 | Scott Baker

URBANA, Ill. (AP) — The University of Illinois on Thursday denied 1960s radical William Ayers emeritus faculty status after trustees Chairman Christopher Kennedy noted Ayers dedicated a book to, among others, the man who killed Kennedy’s father, Robert F. Kennedy.

All nine voting trustees either opposed granting Ayers, a recently retired University of Illinois-Chicago professor, the largely honorary status or abstained from the vote. Universities often grant emeritus status to distinguished retired faculty members. At Illinois it doesn’t come with any monetary benefits, spokesman Tom Hardy said.

Ayers co-founded the Weather Underground, an anti-war group held responsible for a series of bombings during the Vietnam War era, including nonfatal explosions at the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol.

Time for another White House beer summit. Obama and Bill Ayers can set that Kennedy boy straight.

I don’t mean to sound cynical, but I wonder if Christopher Kennedy WASN’T on the board, would the board still have denied him emeritus status? I doubt they would have had the guts to deny zero’s buddy.... :-(

a good and necessary step — but the travesty is that they paid the scumbag lots of $$$ over the past 2+ decades to indoctrinate their students with his pro-terrorist agitprop

Wasn't one of those "others" Satan? Wonder why they didn't mention that. I guess that wasn't important to them.

I remember seeing an interview with an man who said Ayers tried to kill him when he was a child. His father was handling a case with some radicals, and Ayer’s group planted a bomb under their car that didn’t work right.

He was convinced from the placement and timing of the bomb that Ayers and his groups were trying to kill the entire family, kids and all. You could tell he was still very angry Ayers wasn’t rotting in jail, where he belonged.

Sounds like the University of Illinois acted stupidly, and Obama needs to make a phone call!

Exactly.

Bomb the Pentagon, no problem. Stomp on the American flag, no problem. Be an out-and-out Marxist, no problem.

But offend a Kennedy . . . well, you’re in trouble now, buddy.
