#1 Wow! I'm actually shocked, but there may be some level-headed folks left at Syracuse. I think this approach (let's open up the floor to BOTH sides of the debate and let the public decide) is the ONLY thing many of us would ask for. There may be some hope left for some of these colleges, yet. Not "free speech for me, but not for thee."

#3 Damn, I'd drive over except I have to work.

The folks that'll go just to boo and hiss don't have to be at work until the headshops open in the afternoon.

#5 Why is it that the left's arguments are nothing more than childish name calling?

Oh ya....

#6 JRTS: your support for barbarian Islamofascists and the personal insults are bad enough, but when you start dissing the Classic Cheesecake^TM on the pages of the Defender-Scimitar & Times-Picayune, well . . . that is simply beyond the pale! Beyond the pale, I say!

#7 More degrading that forcing people to do repetitive tasks and not think for themselves? More degrading than forcing half of your population into slavery? More degrading than having everyone else that thinks differently than you crushed under an Islamic heel?

Mmmm..... No. I'll take boobs any day over your hell.

#9 Poor JRTS - must be a slow day at the DU (Delusional or Depression Underground). Either that, or his favorite goat Fatima is menstruating.

#10 Can we have a special section in the sinktrap for the professional trolls who visit, like Jizzing in the Blender, so we can read his wit?
(OK, so maybe I only wanted to get my own pet nym for him in the comments.....)

#11 #2 Spot, the faculty handbook at my university defines a Professor of the Practice as faculty who "shall have attained regional and national prominence and, when appropriate, international recognition of outstanding achievement."

It's listed at the very top of all the possible ranks (assistant, associate, full professor, etc.), so, it's the academic equivalent of a Field Marshal, I guess.
