...provided for interaction with students and especially the opportunity it provided to try to do new things in new ways... At the same time when it was clear that it wasn’t going to be possible to innovate in strong ways, I became very comfortable with the judgment that it was much better for me to return to what’s been my primary professional passion of economic analysis and public policy...
...difficult decision to censure Turkey, a strategic ally in Iraq, for the genocide it committed against Armenian Christians in 1915.

Northwestern created a "family justice" center for Dohrn to run. Ayers is a "distinguished professor" at the University of Illinois. They write Op-Eds and are often quoted in the Tribune, where, if they are identified at all beyond their academic...
