Best cartoon this week: Israel and Iran

Posted by Tom on Saturday, March 10, 2012 at 12:02 PM |

Jack Ohman of the The Oregonian nailed it this week.

Nuclear doctrines control the minds of men only in periods of non-emergency. In the moment of truth, when the possibility of major devastation occurs, one is likely to discover sudden changes in doctrine. — James Schlesinger, 1974

The AAUP’s 1940 Statement of Principles:

“College and university teachers are citizens, members of a learned profession, and officers of an educational institution. When they speak or write as citizens, they should be free from institutional censorship or discipline, but their special position in the community imposes special obligations. As scholars and educational officers, they should remember that the public may judge their profession and their institution by their utterances. Hence they should at all times be accurate, should exercise appropriate restraint, should show respect for the opinions of others, and should make every effort to indicate that they are not speaking for the institution.”
