...tenure level, you have a real problem. What if she gets a job at Northwestern, and I get one in California? What do we do? Tenure offers tend to be scarce, and there are very, very few scholars who can get an offer in any city in America," the K-School professor says...
Neither Meese nor the K-School, it appears, is willing to forego the opportunity to adorn themselves with status names and medals. For while Meese recently announced that he had important cabinet business keeping him from making his scheduled appearance tomorrow, he did not say that he would decline the award. His reception has merely been pushed to May 20 on a flimsy excuse; Meese will be in town this weekend.

But recision is not the solution; it would only compound the huge public relations fracture. It's asking too much for the K-School to swallow its pride and also shoot itself in the chest in its relations with the Administration. Two solutions present themselves. Meese took the first step in damage control by postponing...
