    A Republic or an Empire?
    PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS | July 9 2006
    Gentle reader, did you know that in April President Bush went to Stanford University to speak to the Hoover Institution fellows at the invitation of former Secretary of State George Shultz but was not allowed on campus? The Stanford students got wind of it and blocked Bush’s access to the campus. The Hoover fellows had to go to Shultz’s (…)

    Banning Books On Cuba Is Idiotic By Leonard Pitts 7/1/2006
    The other day, I gave two teachers I know $300,000 apiece. Hypothetical money, that is. If $300,000 fell out of the sky, I said, and you could use it to improve your school, how would you spend it? Mary Ann, who works at an elementary school in Los Angeles, wanted to hire classroom aides to work one-on-one with "troublesome students who have not been properly diagnosed so they can be educated and not just written off."

Conflicting reports of casualties range from 3 to 11 persons dead, including one child, with many injured or detained. About (…)

  • Sanctions & boycotts against racist, Apartheid Israel should exclude universities for DISCOURSE
    9 June 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
    5 comments

    The world should respond to Israel’s racist, human-rights abusing Apartheid policies with SANCTIONS and BOYCOTTS. However Israeli universities should be exempt from such blanket boycotts because the academic ethos is about truth, reason and dialogue - indeed such dialogue might well help to bring an end to gross, proto-Nazi ultrazionist violations of the Geneva, Human Rights and Rights of the Child Conventions.
    The recent academic boycott resolutions of the Canadian CUPE and the British (…)

    A letter to William P. Leahy, SJ, president of BU
    Dear Father Leahy,
    I am writing to resign my post as an adjunct professor of English at Boston College.
    I am doing so — after five years at BC, and with tremendous regret — as a direct result of your decision to invite Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to be the commencement speaker at this year’s graduation.
    Many members of the faculty and student body already have voiced their objection to the invitation, (…)

    In October 2005, on a University of Oklahoma bench within a two-minute walk of the stadium while a football game was in progress, OU student Joel Hinrichs set off a bomb in his backpack and killed himself. This happened three minutes before half time. The bench was adjacent to a sidewalk. Go here for my full report:
    Evidence strongly suggests that Hinrichs intended to kill others but experienced an accidental early detonation. (…)

    5 May 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Harold Meyerson
    This morning, for the first time in two months, it will be a day with immigrants at the University of Miami. On Monday the university’s janitors — almost all of them immigrants, and the vast majority refugees from Fidel Castro’s Cuba — won a nine-week battle with the university and its janitorial contractor over their right to be represented by a union. Today they report back to work. When the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) set out to organize the janitors, (…)

    "Let’s call the Israel lobby the Israel Lobby"
    One of the consistent deformities in American policy debate has been challenged by a couple of professors, and the reaction proves their point so neatly it’s almost funny.
    A working paper by John Mearsheimer, professor of political science at the University of Chicago, and Stephen Walt, professor of international affairs at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard, called "The Israel Lobby" was printed in the (…)
