Incredible scenes at Linfield, which once had an excellent regional reputation. I can't imagine this will help their financial difficulties.

QuoteLinfield University on Tuesday fired English professor Daniel Pollack-Pelzner, a public advocate for students and faculty who had complained about alleged sexual abuse by board trustees. Pollack-Pelzner, 41, also earlier this month accused university President Miles K. Davis of making anti-Semitic comments to fend off criticism of how the school handled those sexual abuse complaints...the school confirmed it had fired Pollack-Pelzner "for cause," describing him as "insubordinate" and having "interfered with the university's administration of its responsibilities."

There's already a thread...http://thefora.org/index.php?topic=2336.0

But thanks for the link. I've used up my allotment of free propaganda so I can't get the NYT online without paying.
