Sorry but NONE of this is from the original linked article is it? Here is something from a pertinent article though and I do believe it's the one you're quoting from:

Cheves said the school's supporters, "this campus, the university community," trustees and administrators back the school's effort to land the Bush complex, which will include a library, museum and public policy institute.

So "unlike" your article title, the faculty and staff SUPPORT this plan. Only a bunch of ministers don't. I think you'll find the university's word will carry more weight than a bunch of ministers.

The petition is real and the ministers believe the Bush policies are inconsistent with their school. See below:

You "STILL" don't get it do you? First off it's NOT "their" school! The ministers are NOT the university and CAN'T dictate university policy! So your title is a LIE!

The faculty and Alumni at SMU are circulating a petition to oppose the placement of the Presidential Library of George W. Bush at their school.

ALSO A LIE!

And from YOUR linked article:

"We believe the vast majority of the Methodist membership, university and community support the library and that it will benefit the faculty, students and community for generations to come," Cheves said.

i wonder how many copies of "my pet goat" will be stocked?

  Bwahaha!

Let's see how many people sign the petition!

Wherever the Bush library is located it will be a monument to the WORST failure we have ever had as president of our country!

particularly on whether the school’s academic freedom and political independence might appear compromised by an association with not only the Bush library but also a museum that would accompany it.

Now that's funny.

I guess that's as close as I'll ever get from you on an admission of being wrong about something. And btw....no matter how many sign the petition they are NOT the school administration. And guess who has the final word.

If the people that sign the petition are the faculty, students and Alumni they are the ONLY people that make a difference. If the administration ignores that group it will be just like Bush who ignores what the vast majority want for our country. His support is at 27% I find it hard to believe it is that high!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"IF" you had bothered to read what I posted you would know better than to say this bs:

"We believe the vast majority of the Methodist membership, university and community support the library and that it will benefit the faculty, students and community for generations to come," Cheves said.

And this is from the linked article that YOU, YOURSELF posted. Get over it, you were shown wrong with your OWN evidence.

And just an fyi...neither the faculty, students, nor the alumni RUN THE SCHOOL! The school adinistration has THE FINAL SAY!
