Controversial UIC professor denied emeritus status

Son of Robert Kennedy speaks out against Ayers

University of Illinois at Chicago professor William Ayers was denied emeritus status Thursday by University of Illinois trustees meeting in Urbana. (Chicago Tribune 2008 / September 23, 2010

• In a very unusual move, University of Illinois trustees Thursday denied giving emeritus status to controversial retired professor William Ayers.
  
  The vote, at a U. of I. board meeting in Urbana, was unanimous and came after a passionate speech by board chair Christopher Kennedy, who invoked the 1968 assassination of his father, Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, in saying that he was voting his conscience.
  
  The other trustees, without comment, also voted against the appointment.
  
  Ayers, the Vietnam War-era radical, had been an education faculty member at UIC since 1987. He retired effective Aug. 31 and then sought the emeritus faculty status, a largely honorific title that includes some benefits such as library privileges.

  ---

  
  
  A co-founder of the Weather Underground anti-war group, Ayers was frequently in the media spotlight and, as such, was one of the university's best-known faculty members.
  
  While trustees regularly vote on emeritus appointments, they rarely comment about them.
  
  But in an emotional statement, Kennedy discussed his reasons for voting against Ayers' request.
  
  "I am guided by my conscience and one which has been formed by a series of experiences, many of which have been shared with the people of our country and mark each of us in a profound way," Kennedy said.
  
  He said he could not confer the title "to a man whose body of work includes a book dedicated in part to the man who murdered my father."
  
  Kennedy was referring to a 1974 book co-authored by Ayers, "Prairie Fire," which was dedicated to a long list of people including Robert Kennedy assassin Sirhan Sirhan and "all political prisoners in the U.S."
  
  Ayers became a controversial figure in Barack Obama's presidential campaign because they worked on a school-reform initiative together, leading opponents to say Obama was linked to a "terrorist." UIC was forced to release more than 1,000 files detailing the activities of that group. The university also faced questions in 2001 after Ayers wrote in his memoir about helping with the non-fatal bombings of government buildings.
  
  According to the UIC faculty handbook, the granting of emeritus status is "based on merit" and is "an extraordinary title that is given for extraordinary service."
  
  Kennedy said he hoped faculty, staff and Illinois residents "understand my motives and my reasoning" and concluded: "How could I do anything else?"
  
  Ayers could not be reached for comment, and UIC School of Education Dean Vicki Chou did not return a call from the Tribune. She told the Tribune last month that Ayers has "been really a very good colleague here" and "the good far outweighs any negative press."

GOOD FOR Christopher Kennedy & rest of We Victimized by Ruling Elite Ideologues & FRIENDS.

Guess old Chris, just like rest of all sensible Americans, sees no sense whatsoever honoring
any would be Marxist anti-Americans (reason for many dying also) in High Halls of Academe.

Matters not how high up in government Bill Ayers' good friends, admirers & confidants NOW go.

A low-life anti-America scum of circa 1968 is no different than now in 2010.

Just like Jane Fonda, Bill Ayers is still: "Lower than whale s--t" on Honor,Integrity & Patriotism scale.

Both treasonable Enemy Patriots plus: "Enemy Aiders & abetters" & constant USA Underminers
WILL NEVER CHANGE, & especially since so many fools STILL actually believe all lame excuses
so typically given by such obvious Despicable anti-America & Leftist Hypocrite A--holes.

Besides denying tenure, I recommend that we deny him oxygen for about 5 minutes............... Commie prick

Apparently most University of Illinois Professors are just as hell-bent America Destroying & PRO-Despicable Marxist Terrorist NUTS,...as is also obvious SickO Terrorist Felon Bill Ayers.

I so state since Leftist UIC profs are now trying to have would be & wannabe Killer Bill Ayers gifted an Honorable emeritus status, which wisely & sensibly had been previously refused The Convicted Bomber by university's Trustees.

Guess it fair saying that those same lofty & pompous Marxist/Communist Agitators against Capitalism, Freedom, Liberty & The American Way posing as Higher Education Teachers or Professors trying to overturn Trustees' decision, are pretty-much shameless too.

Besides, Honoring ANYONE Unarguably DISHONORABLE like Old Bill, undoubtedly has to be Quite Stupid (at best). Even if such were done by the most lame or most backward of students, it would still be Quite Stupidly Hypocritical HONORING a failed killer like Bill Ayers.

But then, many such higher educators nationwide daily honor by teaching about & praising known mass-murderers like Che, Chairman Mao & other such successful killers. Go figure?

Makes one wonder how Bill Ayers & like-minded hypocrites even got their jobs at UIC in the first place (White House also)??? Has to be some reason why so many anti-Americans are obviously teaching in Illinois (rest of country also)? Also, why are such typical Revisionist Histories being taught (actually brain-washed) at earlier & earlier ages?

Also wonder if Marxist & Muslim Terrorism are tied-in somehow? Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if so. Both have quite similar objectives.

Betcha by time reaching college or university, students actually believe most Deviant Leftist or Islamic Professors.

WOW!!!,...Accepting minds So Badly taken advantage of. Such teachings now pretty-much like Hitlers Jugend/Youth and currently Muslim Madrassas! What National Shames!!!

To put an end to it, it is necessary to put an end to the Democrat party as we know it.

They are entrenched in every nook and cranny of that domain, and have been for 60-70 years, at least.

I am hoping and hoping, that the rest of us have finally gotten the picture and will do everything necessary to see to it that no Democrat ever gets another vote for any office at any level at any future time in this nation's history.

Their partisans won't go away, but they will be dispersed and easier to spot and snuff out before they breed again.

Nationally divisive, disruptive & Freedom Destroying Progressive Democrat Socialists and/or Despicable Marxist Political Supremacist Ideologues posing as Liberals have steadily entrenched themselves: "In every nook and cranny" of U.S. Government,...since around time of President Wilson or for about last 100 years.

Now Progressive Ilk pretty-much Own Administration, AG, DOJ & even most voices in Academe & Mainstream Press/Media, to-boot.

Thus, and even though no doubt your suggesting that same Democrats Never Ever Be Stupidly given another vote by Americans was Great,...the future still looks bleak to me.

Wisely Voting for-a-change aside, dealing with longtime: "Entrenched in every nook and cranny" Bed Bugs would be infinitely much easier getting rid of,...than 100 year or so infiltrated anti-America fanatical ideologues and/or PROGRESSIVES/Marxists or whatever, really-hanging-in-there tenaciously.

Yassuh,...some worthless, diseased & disgusting national parasites are MUCH more difficult exterminating...than most others are.
