This from the WCCC web site on Adj. Professor J. Daley
For immediate release: November 22, 2005
Statement from Dr. William Austin President Warren County Community College
I firmly believe that the most precious freedom all Americans share is the First Amendment right of freedom of speech. I am committed to working unceasingly to see that it is preserved for all WCCC students, faculty and staff.
At the same time, there are existing state laws — as well as College policies and procedures — that must be followed to ensure that all members of our College are free and encouraged to exercise their right to free speech without fear of intimidation or retaliation. I am dedicated to protecting and preserving that freedom.
The recent dispute between two members of our College community — Adjunct Instructor John Daly and a student representing a new student club — speaks clearly to the complexity of addressing these issues in these difficult and controversial times.
Late today, the Board was informed of Mr. Daly’s decision to resign his Adjunct position at WCCC effective immediately. In its meeting, the Board voted to accept the resignation agreement and instructed the administration to make certain that students in Mr. Daly’s class are offered the highest quality instruction in this interim period.
We have already moved ahead in finding a very able member of our faculty to conduct the remainder of Mr. Daly’s classes for this semester. We will also rededicate ourselves to a review of our current policies and procedures to make certain that we continue to foster an open and collegial learning environment at our institution. I personally pledge to see that tolerance training is included in our next faculty and staff in-service, and to consider a broad range of student input in its development.
One for the good guys.
It's not complicated at all. Had he advocated the murder of the member of ANY OTHER GROUP, he would have been summarily fired.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Well, surprise, surprise...it did occur to a lot of people that the threat to Daly's academic freedom was nothing compared to the threat he presented to the students' academic freedom by threatening, in effect, to see that they were run off campus. Had he stuck to criticizing the war he'd have been fine.
I bet that CU bolder or UW madison will hire him.
There were in fact some very good local authorities involved in this and it appears they made their position clear enough that Mr. Daly decided to fight another day.
Hat's off to John DiMaio and Edward Smith (and probably a few more), but most importantly... watch for Ms Rebecca Breach to have a bright career. She's a class act and kept her composure well through this.
Cheers,
Lloyd
Please make sure that the next professor can spel...
Whooo Hooo!
Well, it is Kommunity Kollege, after all.
I predict that he will now be a hero for the America-hating psychotic left and Michael Moore-on will feature the unlamented departure of Daly from that campus in an upcoming festival of leftist hate-film. Watch for Daly to enjoy highly paid speaking appearances around the country (and quite possibly Canada and Europe!!) as a welcome (for the left) martyr for leftist hate and depravity.
Wow. I truly thought he'd be given a slap on the wrist and a private talking to (atta boy!).
HooRAY! Someone did the right thing!
Did anybody ever find the other place Daly is teaching?
I doubt that he will hit the lecture circuit as he is not a very big fish, just a temp lecturer. Probably go back to writing procedural manuals for Canadian Health Care.
I am impressed with the speed with which the president of the college acted. Good going.
They should have refused his resignation and fired his sorry butt!
Where is Dean Wormer!?
Nice!
Good! Now let's have the teacher up on charges of incitement to murder.
"tolerance training" - that's what they need.
I think it's wonderful we all "forced" him off campus. Maybe others in his position will think twice before advocating for the murder of American soldiers.
BARF at the obligatory waving of the First Amendment!
FIRE IN THE BOARDROOM!
Does anybody in public view get fired any more? That's LIE # 1 in your statement, Dr Austin!
I am being serious here. The Board was probably as shocked as any of us to find that one of their professors advocated, in writing, the fragging of superior officers.
Good riddance. I hope this slug doesn't get another opportunity to teach anywhere, any time.
Oops! Not this guy....
I was wondering ... I thought there were laws against inciting to violence, but I guess they only count when your guys are the on the receiving end.
BUMP!
"I bet that CU bolder or UW madison will hire him."
Amber Alerts have already been posted as he's on the Interstate headed west right now.
We crushed that sucker like an insect. His next teaching assignment will be a drivers ed class.
That guy does not look like he can drive a golf ball very far.......are you sure that's him? Where's his cigarette?
Those that can,, DO.
Those that can't,, Teach..
Hope he enjoys his Tofurkey for Thanksgiving.
Translation: We left wing kooks can't get away with this kind of imitimidation any longer because the silent majority won't take it lying down as in the past. We already got calls from angry alumni telling us their checks are going to stop so you're fired.
They really need to teach Self-Control 101, Miss Manners, and how to treat students with dignity better in graduate school. Every college and university in the country has the duty to inform their faculty members that bigoted and prejudicial behavior towards conservative and Christian students is just as unacceptable as anti-black or antisemitic behavior.
At least this moronic idiot is gone. Maybe the loss of employment will provide a teaching moment to reflect on and rethink the idiotic behavior which led to this stupid episode.
"I want that clown professor put on
Double Secret Probation!"
What does an adjunct professor at a community college do once he resigns? This guy will be teaching high school within the year. Bet your bottom dollar.
The young woman called Sean Hannity and Hannity turned a million-candle-power searchlight on this cockaroach.
Suddenly the bully wasn't attacking a lone girl from the anonymity of his computer keyboard--
--and he did the Left's classic Chicken Run.
Pleeeeeese.................. A fine college system.... speak for yourself......! The good guys won, remember that!
Well, let's just make a committment to follow Mr. Daly's career then. Can't be that difficult for someone with a mouth like his... check under Michael Moore's desk every once in a while and John will turn up.
Let's just watch and see...
Let us hope that this clown is too little a pipsqueak to cash in his 15 minute notoriety, as many before him have done. I mean, the market for fat would be dissidents is a bit saturated now, what with Ward Churchill, Cindy, Tookie, the Nobel Prize Nominee. Poor Mumia is getting forgotten.
Weasel words from the president of the university. There is nothing complex about addressing these issues. The leftist instructor was working to deny free speech on campus by a member of the military and advocating the murder of our troops. As nice as this is for us good guys, it would have been even better if the university president had stood up for freedom of expression and been clear in his condemnation of the horrible views of this public employee.
