CNN HAS MORE ON THE BARRETT/U.W.-MADISON STORY: Plus note this comment on Ann Althouse’s blog:
Enough. I’ve read and re-read all the material on the Barrett case and then discussed, thought some more, and discussed again. In the end, we’re going to act locally because our unease coming out of this just won’t ease. As the father of an inbound freshman who completed SOAR and is a month away from moving into the dorm, we’re pulling the plug on UW here, and actively calling back some of the schools we turned down. Yes, it is because of this Barrett class, not this one nut alone, but of the even scarier indifference and lack of systemic accountability involved throughout this process. It really is a truth teller as to what is in store for us the next 4 years, and so, we are opting out. My wife and I are both highly educated and of a fairly liberal bent ourselves, but clearly this 9/11 incident has legs and is indicative of a deeper core cancer at this institution.
There’s more, and you should read it all, especially if you’re an administrator at the University of Wisconsin.
