I have a hard time appreciating anybody's forthrightness
when I feel pretty sure NO organization currently sponsoring
a conference at the UI supports slavery.
The WSU president has over-reacted. Weeks earlier, the Daily
News over-reported (which is a crashingly big euphemism for
performed poorly).
Some people involved in this have gotten several hours more
than their 15-minutes of deserved media attention. Me, I'm
only up to 39 seconds.
