More news from Bonnie Kristian at YAL regarding Indiana University and Tom Woods.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\nI’ve posted<\/a> here before about<\/a> Indiana University-Bloomington’s ridiculous rejection of Dr. Tom Woods on the excuse that he lacked “sufficient academic credibility” — despite his degrees from Harvard and Columbia, authorship of NYT<\/em>bestsellers, and position as a senior scholar at the Mises Institute.<\/p>\n
Since then, YAL at IU-B has been working hard<\/a> to raise the funds necessary to bring Woods to campus on their own. For a while, it looked as if<\/a> the university might be backing down. Not anymore. As the club’s president, Sam Spaiser, now explains, the lectures board denied a second request on the grounds that the club was “too prepared”:<\/p>\n
“The fact that we came prepared, had already contacted Woods and secured a date, proposed a schedule for the event, and selected (although not booked) a room, this caused the Lectures Committee to feel left out of the process.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
