Director Of Women's Studies: "We Prohibit Any Course That Says We Restrict Free Speech!"

	posted by Scott on Thursday September 28, @11:23AM from the education dept.
	That title line is a direct quote from this article found at Town Hall news. It's about a professor of sociology, Dr. Richard Zeller, who wanted to teach a course on political correctness (with plenty of student support for the course) and was denied the opportunity to teach it by the department. He resigned in protest. First Prof. Asher is ousted, now Zeller. Does anyone still believe that higher education is a place were free thinking is encouraged?

Hello?!       The only reason Dr. Kathleen Dixon could even think of making such an inane remark is because she thought she could get away with it. Let's not let THIS one slide, people!       Here is are two email address for Dr. Dixon, in addition to other relevant addresses:     kdixon@bgnet.bgsu.edu,     kmdixon@bgnet.bgsu.edu,     grlee@bgnet.bgsu.edu(Gary Lee, Sociology Dept. Chair),       president@bgnet.bgsu.edu(Sidney A. Ribeau, Univ. President)     The University website addresses is http://www.bgsu.edu       The kind of arrogance displayed by these people must not go unchallenged by ANYBODY. Come on, people, let's WRITE!                                                                                   fritzc77

I have tried to contact Kathleen Dixon at kdixon@bgnet.bgsu.edu, and was informed that this address was not in the public address book and that the message could not be delivered. As of this writing, I have not received seperate notification to this effect for Dr. Dixon's other address:       kmdixon@bgnet.bgsu.edu.       Also, I have tried to contact Dr. Gary Lee at         grlee@bgnet.bgsu.edu         and have NOT received a "Failure to Deliver" notice, nor a response of any other kind, from Dr. Lee or anyone else.
