At U. of Georgia, Furor Over Clarence Thomas



"Now some faculty members say that having Thomas as the undergraduate commencement speaker sends the wrong message at a time when the university is in the midst of a process that could change the way sexual harassment is dealt with in the campus judicial system.
“Given all of this work, and what felt like progress, the news that Justice Clarence Thomas is to give the commencement address this year has been met by dismay,” said Chris Cuomo, director of the Institute for Women’s Studies and a professor of philosophy, in an e-mail message. “Members of the UGA community who are concerned about the problems with enforcement of the university’s own policies against harassment wonder if the university administration is sending an intentional message that they believe matters of sexual harassment and gender equity are trivial.”"


They don't seem to have the same problem with Slick Willy or Ms Lewinski....
Why are we wasting $$$$ on idiot programs like "women's studies"?
