The free-speech controversy on campus is featured in today's Philadelphia Inquirer. This part is about you:
Bucknell president Brian C. Mitchell has received about 100 letters, e-mails, and phone calls protesting the administration's response.
And this part is about our humble group:
The Alliance for a Better Bucknell, a year-old group of alumni, parents, and others, is backing the conservative club's right to hold events such as an affirmative-action bake sale.
"This issue is not about conservatives or liberals; it is about one of the fundamental tenets of a university," said Allison Kasic, 25, a 2005 Bucknell graduate and vice president of the group. "The expressive rights of Bucknell students, as well as faculty, must be respected."
Kasic, a policy analyst for the Washington-based Independent Women's Forum, said the group had hoped that the university would have retreated so that the matter didn't have to go public.
Do read the whole thing--and please continue to call on President Mitchell to do what is right.
