Readers respond: Linfield could endanger itself
Today 6:30 AM
I am extremely disappointed with Linfield University President Miles K. Davis and its Board of Trustees for the peremptory firing of Professor Daniel Pollack-Pelzner (“Linfield University president defends firing of tenured professor, says he has no plans to resign,” April 30). As a Linfield alumnus (B.A. ’62) and a retired faculty member and administrator at three universities, I am fully aware of how shortsighted and contrary to all the principles of academic freedom this decision was. Moreover, as a member of several university accreditation examination committees, I can predict that this action could jeopardize Linfield’s accreditation.
