Some Guy From Obama’s Neighborhood Denied Emeritus Status at U of I

Retired University of Illinois professor and former domestic terrorist Bill Ayers was denied emeritus faculty status by the University’s board of trustees today. In an odd twist of fate, Ayers had made an apparent shout-out from one criminal to another in the form of a dedication to Sirhan Sirhan in his book “Prarie Fire.”  As you all know, Sirhan killed Robert F. Kennedy who was the father of the current University of Illinois Board of Trustees Chairman, Christopher Kennedy.

Kennedy gave a speech in opposition to Ayers receiving the largely honorary title.  While a little late in the game for some folks to recognize this jerk for what he was, it is nice to see him get the respect he deserves.  None.
