OUR NOBLE ACADEMIC CLASS: Harvard Professors Raked in Millions from Khadafy.

UPDATE: A reader emails: “What’s the over-under on number of years till Harvard expresses contrition for taking Alwaleed’s $20 million?”

ANOTHER UPDATE: A reader emails: “At least they haven’t committed the mortal sins in academia of being registered Republicans, evangelical Christians, or vocal opponents of the welfare state! You might say taking money from dictators is a lot more acceptable than praising George Bush.” Well, yeah.

MORE: Harvard Professors say: ROTC Bad. Gaddafi money Good! “Those fastidious folks who could not bear to have their campus sullied by American servicemen apparently had their price. It’s amazing what and who you can buy if you show them the money. Remember Carville’s slur about Paula Jones and dragging a hundred dollar bill through a trailer park? It turns out that dragging hundred dollar bills through Harvard Yard will get you full professors willing to cover up dictatorship and murder.”

Well, to be fair, Harvard has now decided to let ROTC back on campus. But will the military want to be associated with people who took money to flack for Khaddafy?
