So, what was the lie?
if he had any decency he would convince some of his colleges to go with him
"She has lied to the American people..." WTF? What exactly were those lies? I love when the sad lot that opposes the administration makes this wild arese claim. Because they say it, I guess it must be true.
Please, professor, detail them (Condi's lies) and support them with facts...not your groupthink arseclown rhetoric, please.
LOL, lot's of accuusation with very little to back them up. Too bad we can't send a 1000 Rices to 1000 Univercities. She seems to make the commies go ballistic. LOL, Way to go Rice!
The professor is simply a RACIST. It's RACISM!!! The prof hates BLACK PEOPLE!!
Jesse? AL? NAACP?
Never mind that I'm Pro-Choice, Pro gay marriage and pro anything against the Bush Administration. It's about Jesuit priciples dammit! sarc/off
Excellent.....
Adjuncts are drawn from the local population who happen to have a degree in something useful and are willing to teach a class or two just for fun.
The pay is minimal - more of a token than anything else. It doesn't even cover your gas money if you live more than a couple of miles from campus. And it certainly doesn't cover all the work you do if you take the job seriously -- reading and grading papers thoughtfully and writing helpful comments for the students.
I used to be an adjunct at my law school. I eventually stopped because it took too much time from my regular job to do it right. A lot of people who want the title on their resume take the job and then don't do the work or do a sloppy job.

So, which is it? Is she so stupid that she doesn't realize that she's being used by the evil Republicans, or is she a clever liar?
All this spouting from "academics" makes me dizzy.
The key here is "Adjunct Professor". Means he was a semester-to-semester or a part time hire at best. He was not tenure track, had no security, was headed to no security and gave up little. Not exactly like the Dean of the Faculty resigning.
Bye.
"...inconsistent with the broader humanistic values of the university and the Catholic and Jesuit traditions from which those values derive."
I wonder if Steve Almond is even a Catholic, or if that was a convenient line to use.
Rice should speak at every college if it makes one reactionary quit at each school!!
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.
However I'm sure if they had invited a convicted cop killer to do the speech he'd have been just fine with it.
Imagine - upset that someone as prestigious as the Secretary of State will be speaking at your school.
"Adjunct professors" are outranked by, and paid less than, janitors.
Maybe we can have Rice do a tour and speak at every university in the U.S. Think of the possibilities.
This is just a pathetic publicity stunt from this whimpering whining wanker. He has no life, no career, so he figures he'll try to stir something up and see if he can be a hero to the rabid left. Watch him, he'll probably jump from his lowly 'adjunct' position to a tenure-track job elsewhere, because the left just loves this kind of nonsense.
When does he get his book deal?
