BLUTO TAKES A JOURNALISM CLASS:

Dartmouth alumni elect conservatives to trustee board (5/25/07, Associated Press)

For two decades, Dartmouth College has tried to rein in rowdy fraternities -- such as the one that inspired the movie "Animal House" -- and make the campus more welcoming to women, minorities and scholars.

Now, some alumni who appreciated the old Dartmouth are pushing back.


However much we all might like to see the press be more open about it's biases, it's a riot watching them write stuff like that and then tell us they're fair.

Smith wasn't forthcoming about his conservatism? Wasn't that what he ran on?

The administration and faculty are governed by the trustees, not the other way around and the raison d'être of the institution is to serve its students, not to provide a perfect politically correct environment to entice "scholars" to deign to serve on the faculty.

I hope these points are hammered home by the newly elected trustees.

BTW - I missed the part in the article describing the incidents about conservative newspapers being confiscated and destroyed by some of those highly desirable multi-culties in their eagerness for diversity?
