...also attempted to convey my opinion that while the absence of large pools of minority faculty candidates does constitute a real barrier in the short-run, low pools of minorities are never an occasion for failing to undertake long-range tasks involved in increasing the pools. Long-range tasks involve recruiting increased numbers of minority graduate students, and similar measures. Nor should the absence of large pools be used to justify the absence of ad hoc attempts in the short-run to attract qualified minority faculty, perhaps by recruiting them from other institutions.

When a speech is cancelled, when a speaker is heckled, the press should not ignore the incident. And the ballpark incident is not a political action--the ballgame intruder isn't protesting the game, nor is he trying to convey a political message to the audience...

There is nothing odd or inappropriate, therefore, for a university to make these values the foundation for a serious program to help students develop a strong set of moral standards. Indeed, the failure to do so threatens to convey a message that neither these values nor the effort to live up to them are of much importance or much common concern. This message is not only unworthy of the academy; it is likely in the atmosphere of a university to leave students morally confused and less able to acquire...
