NO ONE ELECTED YOU!!!

C.I.R. PRESS ALERT

"Since no one elected the New York Times to determine national security policy, the only action I know to register protest for their irresponsible action (treason?) is to withdraw support of their operations by canceling our subscription as many others are doing," Mendell D. Morgan Jr. wrote Wednesday in an e-mail to library staffers. "If enough do, perhaps they will get the point."

Congrats to Mr. Morgan for taking a stand against the NYT. Looks like there are still a few people with their heads screwed on straight.

[UPDATE:]
Morgan announced Friday that he was reinstating the subscription. He also said that he again may cancel the it, but not before engaging the university community in a discussion about the topic and reaching consensus.
