... have expressed concerns that the board turned what should have been a routine academic decision into a personal one.

And that's the problem. The "faculty" have just as much emotional and personal buy-in to the situation as the Board does, but are able to mask it under the guise of the "routine academic decision" argument.

At least the Board's decision, even if made for "personal" reasons, has the benefit of being in the best interests of the school's reputation.

Sounds like Ayers went crying to his university cronies who are about to find out how stubborn those pesky Kennedys can be.

Sure, this school is already disgraced having employed this vile piece of crap to indoctrinate students. It is quite appropriate that Billy receive further honorary exalted status from this discredited, contemptible outfit.

“Hales said. “It is the second Bill Ayers that was hired by the university. He became a really important voice for social good at the point of education.”
So, the university faculty wants to view this subversive professor as having a split personality? A good Ayers, and a bad one? How ridiculous. This man should never have been hired as a teacher in the first place. Imagine your child being instructed by a person who thinks terrorists are heroes? Why did he get a job teaching?? He should have paid for his violent behavior by washing dishes the rest of his life, not sitting around the faculty lounge with dumb kids as groupies. Sickening.

Well they're both malicious and destructive enemies of the US.

He's admitted his guilt. He must have an unpaid parking ticket or something. Pick him up.

“He became a really important voice for social good at the point of education.”

Well, of course...an important voice for the indoctrination
of American youths into the glorious world of Marxist/Leninist ideology.
Whats the big deal over Ayers? We already have a
Communist for president.
While we are at it, lets recycle that old hammer and sickle.
I think the Russians have discarded it.

Ayers is learning that your past CAN come back and bite you in the @ss, just like it does for all us little people every day.

If the faculty can’t figure out that Ayers is a criminal and a hater of this society, the people of Illinois shouldn’t be compelled to pay for this university.

The Trustees made the decision, as they are authorized to. I think it’s time professors stopped telling us what to do.

The two-person concept refers to the likes of P.J. O’Rourke, a radical leftist in the 60s who realized his mistake and did an about-face. Ayers is unapologetic about his past radicalism, except that he thinks he didn’t go far enough. There is only one Bill Ayers.
