We've Got Trouble Right Here in River City

Trouble with a capital T that doesn't rhyme with I that stands for Ignorance.....

from today's Minnesota Daily: Bill would make it clear professors need to speak clear English

The requirement would not be discriminatory, in essence, because it would apply to all new faculty: "According to the bill, before a professor is hired, the head of the academic department must conduct an oral interview with the applicant. The interviewer must then document that the person used clear English with good pronunciation." Furthermore, if 10 percent of the students complain, the faculty must be reassigned to a non-teaching position.

I suppose the good news is that George W. Bush would never be able to teach at the U of M.
