Bush Library Watch -- SMU Professors have a beef:

Bush Library Watch
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Scott Jaschik writes for Inside Higher Ed: "Southern Methodist University has long been considered the front-runner in the competition to be the site of President Bush's presidential library. . . .

"But now, as President Bush prepares to decide among SMU, Baylor University and the University of Dallas, a new issue has emerged. Professors at SMU are circulating an open letter calling for the university to have a full discussion of the implications of being host to the Bush library. . . .

"Faculty critics say that although many of them disagree with President Bush's policies, they would not object to a library-oriented archive and museum -- and they say that in discussions with professors, the university has discussed a vision for such a Bush center. But creating an academic center with a specific goal of boosting the Bush image and agenda strikes many professors as antithetical to a university's academic values."

Paul Burka has more in his blog for the Texas Monthly.
