Every college in America needs new faculties.
Left wingers are brainwashing our kids. Our greatest resource is the braintrust invested in these kids and their brains are being destroyed. The Alumni honored Governor Bush. The Alumni are older more Conservative and most people get more Conservative as they grow older. The faculty takes away ten years from the conservative life of these kids,it takes at least that long for them to realise they were brainwashed and totally lied to by their instructors.
But Algore was given an honorary degree (PhD I believe) in "Climatology" from Minnesota. I guess Minnesota is an easier college?
University officials said they could not recall any precedent for the Senate rejecting the nominees put forth by the Faculty Senate's Honorary Degrees, Distinguished Alumnus Awards and Memorials Committee. The committee determines whether nominees deserve consideration according to standards that include "eminent distinction in scholarship or high distinction in public service."
"The committee endorsed him," Machen said. "It is unheard of that a faculty committee would look at candidates, make recommendations and then (those candidates) be overturned by the Senate."
This made me so angry! BDS run amok. Certainly hope they lose some alumni funds.
Let's face it, all of public academia is run by the far left of the Democratic Party.
They don't want Republicans on their turf.
Jeb's got money. If he wants an advanced degree he can enroll in school and earn the degree. Which to me sounds like a great idea because it would keep him out of politics.
When a couple of wealthy "Bull Gators" make their phone calls to the school administration, you can bet Jeb will end up with his honorary degree.
What is the point of an honorary degree anyway?
Me thinks the Florida state budget writing committee should DECREASE the increase in funding to the University of Florida... then you see/hear a bunch of bleeding heart profs squealing like stuck pigs... a very good thing.
Oh, that is perfect!! There are a LOT more Alumni than there are goober faculty members, and it's likely that the Board of Directors heard from a fair number of them after the faculty took their petty little vote.
