    So the audience analyzed a straight reading of those books, and that served as a reference item?

    Thoughts on a couple of disparate topics:

    - There's some selective ignorance here regarding what Wolfe was and wasn't guilty of. Two things that have been left out of most of the assessments of his work on here are:
    • The allegation that he laughed at protestors and had his driver rev his engine when they blocked his car at the homecoming parade. That's still in doubt as to whether it happened.
    • His sarcastic reaction to protesters, which is not in doubt.
    - The way the protesters attempted to control their interactions with the media is an everyday occurrence with governments and businesses. I have seen no furor comparable to the ire being heaped upon the students.

    Let's also not lose sight of the fact that Republican politicians also wanted Wolfe gone. Liberal activism certainly played a large role in his ouster, but this isn't a simple case of PC culture run amok. All indications are that he was an unqualified, bad leader.

    Her department has about as much to do with the J-School as, say the Nursing School does.

    They're just creating a safe space for her under the bus.

    The J-School is voting whether to remove the courtesy appointment for the Assistant Professor Who Has Nothing To Do With The J-School (and who also is the chair of the student publications committee).

    That Entourage academia paper is more interesting than I expected.

    lol - I've been hearing about the Mizzou J school for a decade plus on these boards... and here's the first real-world evidence in action.

    Awesome.
