Some readers may have noticed that six months have passed since I wrote
a column criticizing the whacky leftist administration at my
university, UNC-Wilmington. I am happy to report the reason for the
silence is that the wacky leftist administrators are now gone. In
addition to that, on July 1st of this year our university got its first
out of the closet conservative chancellor. You heard that right.
UNC-Wilmington is now under the leadership of a conservative
chancellor. And he makes no effort to hide it.
Jose “Zito” Sartarelli is just the man we have been looking for. Unlike
me, he doesn’t end his sentences in prepositions. More importantly, he
has business experience. He has it from the private sector and also
from the within the academy – as dean of a large business school. This
is very good news because we’ve tried putting social science and
humanities professors in charge of universities and colleges. It
doesn’t work. Their only qualification is their ideology. We need
practical problem solvers, not ideologues. And we’ve got one now.
Some of us wondered how long it would take for Sartarelli to make a
positive impact on our university. It took exactly minus ten minutes.
Although he was not supposed to take office until 8 a.m. on July 1st, I
got my first email from him at 7:50 a.m. It was sent with an attached
letter informing me that an organization I advise (the SAE Fraternity)
was being reinstated on campus after years of being banned. It was an
important letter because the case had important First Amendment
implications.
Our previous chancellor Bill Sederburg made no bones about the fact
that the reinstatement of SAE was being held up because of racist
(though constitutionally protected) speech by members of another SAE
chapter in Oklahoma. In other words, our chancellor thought it was not
enough to punish people for uttering constitutionally protected racist
opinions in Oklahoma...
