not to use Fox News. The paper also contained detrragooy remarks regarding Fox News. This paper was not the course syllabus as has been reported. This is important in that an instructor’s syllabus is reviewed and approved by the department chair. This paper was merely a class assignment. Several of the students told their parents about this restriction. In turn, these parents contacted a local radio host who addressed the issue on air. The radio host called my office. We told him that we were unaware of the restriction and that we were concerned since such a restriction would limit the academic freedom of the student to utilize any source they wish to watch the news as per the assignment. College is to be a place where students can investigate and inquire utilizing as many and as varied sources as they wish in order to draw their own conclusions and defend their positions and the credibility of their sources. Thus, the restriction placed on her students would violate the academic freedom of the student. We have been quite clear and consistent regarding our concern. In the mean time, the professor made the decision herself to withdraw the restriction without impetus from the administration or her peers. Our academic dean did speak to her following her decision as to the wisdom of her approach. Her contract will expire at the end of this academic year and our regular professor will return next fall. While you may not agree with our handling of this issue, we think it is important to present this perspective. Again, thank you for your interest. Robin C. CapehartPresidentWest Liberty University
