Koch gift too costly for Florida State - St. Petersburg Times

Koch gift too costly for Florida State - St. Petersburg Times
www.tampabay.com

"Florida State University's economics department needs to reconsider its relationship with billionaire Charles G. Koch, who pledged $1.5 million to the school as long as professors hired with the money hew to Koch's Libertarian philosophy. The arrangement reeks of pandering and undermines academic freedom, the cornerstone of American higher education." Full Article | St. Petersburg Times

Comments:
David Irwin Koch is disgusting, and so is his deal with FSU. I'm ashamed.

"Class struggle in the Midwest: Where do we go from here?"


Event Invitation
"Class struggle in the Midwest: Where do we go from here?"


"We are at a highpoint of the left movement in Wisconsin, the Midwest, the U.S. and the globe. What is the current status of the movement? What are the prospects of ongoing agendas--recalls, lobbying the JFC and legislators, etc.? What is the broader significance of what we have built or have the potential to continue building? What is the way forward for the movement, from the community to the state to the global level? How far ...can we go? It's up to you."

Check out Mike's (Wilson) open letter in today's Socialist Worker.
Wisconsin Democrats aren’t our allies

"Democrats will chant with us--but the last thing we need is to hand the momentum we've created to a political party committed to the rich."

"The Democrats are going to do only enough to regain their foothold. They'll stand up and chant with us, because the power of the people is visible--but the last thing we need is to hand off the momentum we've created to a political party that is still drinking Milton Friedman's "capitalism is a necessary condition for political freedom" Kool-Aid.

It's a lie. We can prove that it's impoverishing the majority and destroying the planet, and it's got to go.


By the way, the Student Government Association's Environmental and Sustainability Issues Committee is bringing Ralph Nader to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point on April 19." FULL ARTICLE HERE | SocialistWorker.org
