We forget that the academy can be so shortsighted as to drive away the best people

 

Surviving in the Academic Jungle--

 

NP 2007:

 I fought the good fight against a worthy adversary at USM, the occasion for my removal to MSU . . . Fighting at USM took it out of me---not the starch, I believe, but just some level of constant indignation that the new pres there caused so much havoc. Not a big deal, and I may feel different tomorrow.

   Take keer, pal.

 

 

Only politicians as a class are crueler and more petty than academics. Noel Polk, of all people, the Welty and Faulkner scholar, driven out of Hattiesburg. So he landed on his feet: so, still, what happened to him is wrong.
