http://www.nytimes.com/2003/02/03/education/03PROF.html? pagewanted=print&position=top "...On Jan. 21, Jeremiah Glassman, chief of the Department of Justice's civil rights division, told the university's general counsel, Dale Pat Campbell, that his office was looking into the complaint, and asked for copies of the university's policies on letters of recommendation." He can't catch a demented killer that sends anthrax through the mails, he can't catch the terrorists because he says his Justice dept manpower is stretched to breaking point. Odd that the Holy Roller religious nut Ashcroft can however find suffiecient time and manpower to go after a Biology professor who refuses to give recommendations to students who reject evolution. He does not fail them or in any other way discriminate, he simply will not write letters of recommendation for those students. "The central, unifying principle of biology is the theory of evolution," Dr. Dini wrote. "How can someone who does not accept the most important theory in biology expect to properly practice in a field that is so heavily based on biology?" I wouldn't be surprised to see the IRS suddenly do a tax audit on this guy, and since he is in Texas he and his family and possessions certainly aren't very secure either. It's a wonderful time we live in with many interesting people leading us. Monte
