tis,

I bet if she looked he'd find that her department was sold at one time too. People fund "chairs" all the time at colleges. Remember the flack a couple of years ago over the Confederacy seminar at GTCC?

Sue Estroff, professor of social medicine and former faculty chairwoman, said a recent curriculum revision revealed no need for more emphasis in Western studies. "Are we for sale, and if so, what for, and if not, what are the guidelines?" she asked.

Foundation President Art Pope has said the proposal is not an attempt to influence the university's curriculum.

"We're not going to let a handful of left-wing faculty stop the students from benefiting from the program," he said.
