Clarence Thomas at UGA: Appropriate speaker?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
UGA psychology professor Janet E. Frick argues that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was not the best choice for UGA graduation speaker, not this year anyway since the student newspaper, The Red and Black, “has written six stories detailing evidence of sexual harassment by male UGA employees (five professors and one coach).” But UGA president Michael Adams counters that Thomas has been a good friend to the university and “The tradition of free and open discourse on a university campus is one of the fundamental tenets undergirding all that we do in academe.”
Thomas as commencement speaker, yes or no?
