Repressive Policies Approved at College of DuPage

David Horowitz has emerged victorious at the College of DuPage, but only thanks to underhanded actions by a group of right-wing trustees in their last meeting as lame ducks after they were thrown out of office by the voters. The College of DuPage Board last night not only passed the destructive 10 policies (pdf, pp. 203-221) that the Illinois AAUP had objected to, they approved the original Academic Bill of Rights after having earlier watered down its provisions. Let's hope that the new Board at the May meeting will immediately repudiate these unethical provisions and avoid legal action against the College of DuPage.
