Ayers denied emeritus status after plea from Chris Kennedy
Chicago Tribune ^ | September 23, 2010 | Jodi Cohen

In a very unusual move, University of Illinois trustees this afternoon denied giving emeritus status to controversial retired professor William Ayers.

The vote, at a U. of I. board meeting in Urbana, was unanimous and came after a passionate speech by board chair Christopher Kennedy, who invoked the assassination of his father, Robert F. Kennedy in saying that he was voting his "conscience."

In one of Ayers’ books he gives a shout out to Sirhan Sirhan as a political prisoner.

Ole Teddy didn’t mind that at all because the fat ba$tard knew he was going to hell anyway.

Here’s the dirty little secret about RFK. He was an anti-communist.

About time a Kennedy did what was right and not politically expedient.

If RFK had lived, Castro would be dead for 40 years!

Oh contrair! This squirt and his buddies have yet to get what they deserve, but I betcha the line of volunteers to assist in getting ayers etc. what they deserve is mighty long. For here it looks to go down the Route 66 and around the corner.

No, he went to Confession and believed he was in a state of grace.

Ayers is scheduled to take part in a “Green Festival” this weekend in Wash. D.C. along with Ralph Nade and Amy Goodman and other leftists. The only “green” he knows is money.

I guess his father was really a closet marxist as many thought.

Fat teddy sent Obama to visit the Pope on his behalf.

You couldn’t make that up in a million years.

Jack Kennedy warned about the Commie globalist web and was shot almost immediately thereafter.

No. The Kennedy’s still think he was good enough to teach America’s children.

Why doesn’t the University of Illinois strip this peice of excrement of everything. Honestly this piece of donkey dung should be put in prison and everything he owns confiscated and sold to pay for the deaths that he caused when in the Weather Underground. No way the pissant in the Whine House can give him a pardon. Let Ayers speak freely about his ghost writing of Obozo’s books. This scum should receive nothing from the University sysytem in Illinois

His (Kennedy's) wife earned a law degree and practiced at Sidley & Austin in Chicago...

Uh oh! Where have we heard of that firm before?

Anyone find it ironic that Ayres blew up the government in the 60’s and works for the government in 10’s?

At least the vote against Ayers was unanimous.

My grandfather graduated from UIC around 1918 - became an architect — good man, conservative, took care of his family always — RIP —

I’m glad that for once a college did the right thing. It’s icing on the cake that this school is in ILLINOIS, current ‘home’ of Zero and his ‘pal from the neighborhood,’ Ayers. I would love to see Ayers stripped of his benefits; he should never have been permitted to ‘teach’ anywhere!

He’s a criminal, knows it, and has never shown remorse.

That Chou woman was highly p*ssed. Gives you some idea of the state of colleges of education in this country — Alinsky factories all.

Yep..I saw it earlier. They should have fired Ayers and taken away his tenure. That would have been more impressive imho.
