[Vision2020] UI Email Hacking

[Tom Hansen]

Forwarded below is the e-mail that was sent out from the e-mail address
president at uidaho.edu, a generic e-mail address assigned to the Office of the
University President.

Although it is true that this message may have originated from a UI employee
of the Office of the University President, one thing sticks out rather
conspicuously.

The e-mail was generated at 12:50 AM (about an hour or so before the bars
close).

If I were to send a bogus e-mail, I certainly would NOT send it from an
office where I am employed at 12:50 AM.

Hmmmmm.

(as I wipe the chalk form my hands)

Take care, Moscow.

Letter to the University of Idaho Faculty, Staff and Students:

Because I'm on a roll here, I write to articulate the University of 
Idaho's position with respect to the solar system:  The fact that the 
sun revolves around the earth is the only curriculum that is appropriate 
to be taught in the scientific sciences.  As the President of this 
University, it is within my administrative capacity to issue statements 
like this that restrict the academic freedom of the faculty and students.

At the University of Idaho, teaching of views that differ from 
geocentricity may occur in faculty-approved curricula in religion, 
sociology, philosophy, culinary arts, adult education and other fields 
that don't bring in grant money.  However, teaching of heliocentric 
views is inappropriate if there is a possibility that students might 
become scientifically skeptical of the dominant paradigm.

The University respects the attempts of individuals to hold personal 
religious and philosophical beliefs, so long as these beliefs are not 
faith-based, since the University of Idaho only believes in science.

The University of Idaho's position is consistent with views articulated 
by respected astronomers for thousands of years. Recent initiatives to 
dispute this scientific fact may not be discussed in any University 
facility, not even WinCo.

President, University of Idaho
