The conman goes college

I don’t know about you, but this sure seems like a political rally…

The following item was listed in today’s Case Western Reserve University “Case Daily“:

Campus News

Case Western Reserve University alumnus Dennis Kucinich will be the guest speaker of the university’s Center for Policy Studies and Case for Peace at 4 p.m. today, April 3. The congressman’s free talk, “Iran and Iraq: A Way Forward,” will take place in Strosacker Auditorium. The event will include commentary and discussion by Peter Moore, assistant professor of political science and Jonathan Sadowsky, professor and chair of history. Although Kucinich is a Democratic candidate for president of the United States, his appearance on campus is permissible by the university’s bylaws because the event is an academic program which is open to the public, and not a campaign event or rally.

Here’s a flyer for the event. You make the call - is this an “academic program” or a “campaign event or rally“?

CASE FOR PEACE Congressman Dennis Kucinich will speak on “Iraq and Iran: the Way Forward” Tuesday April 3, 2007 4 PM Strosacker Auditorium CWRU

Case for Peace was formed in the Fall of 2002 in order to oppose the Bush administration’s plans for a United States invasion of Iraq. It has continued to voice alternative perspectives on United States foreign policy and our quest for security. Case for Peace is diverse; it includes conservatives, liberals, and radicals, for example. We are united in our concerns about the growing unilateralism of United States policies; over-reliance on force as an early rather than last resort in international conflicts; the clear evidence of deception in the push for the invasion of Iraq; and the growing threats to domestic civil liberties. We seek an America that is truly secure and free.

Membership in Case for Peace is open to all staff, students, and faculty at CWRU.

IRAN: WAR OR PEACE?
Finding the way between an often unquestioning mainstream media, governments’ disinformation,
and over-reaction on the left

Introduction:
Today (April 1, 2007) Case for Peace launches a new effort to provide important background on the US-Iran conflict, by searching for information that appears to be grounded in objectivity. Over the next several weeks, this site will gradually expand the number of US-Iran issues covered, and continuously add or revise existing references. The site will give the information in brief abstract or excerpt format, along with the URL so you can read the full source if you wish. Clearly the choices of articles are based on a subjective decision of what seems to make the best sense, given the range of available information. This is a new and experimental enterprise: If you have comments or suggestions, or articles that should be included, e-mail nxr@cwru.edu.

Here are some of the issues that will be covered:
• The British sailor-boundary dispute
• Is Iran working on nuclear weapons?
• Are there workable negotiated solutions to prevent Iran nuclear weapons development?
• What did and does Ahmedinejad really say?
• Do American Presidential candidates differ on Iran?
• Areas of common interest of Iran and the U.S.
• Israel, AIPAC, and the risk of war
• Other issues you would like to see covered?

I wonder if the university offers a “Case for War” alternative? Probably not, the name’s a bit of a turn-off.

    I don’t have the time to research the topic further, or why the Kucinich event was approved, but CWRU has a long history of preemptively quashing any political activities that appear school sponsored. For example, this year they forced the cancellation of an event with Lt. Gov Lee Fisher during the ‘06 campaign, and CWRU was the top choice for the February Obama rally until Case Western said no.

    Like I said, I wish I could give more right now…but I’m cranking out a motion. I’d be interested to know why the Kucinich event was approaved - but its not because Case Western supports any particular ideology or party.
