Much as I am in favor of Jorge's position and admire him, I must say, just for debating purposes, that this is a public university. That means it is goverment/state funded. Does anyone think it is correct for someone on the state's payroll to be lecturing to students in a biased illegal-tending way? I can clearly see the similarity to a corportate employer/employee situation.
This discussion should not at all be about freedom of speech. Jorge is an employee, and his bosses make the laws. He is inciting against following them, and is pressured not to do that.
Again, I want to stress that I support him completely, but in a way can't avoid understanding that educational context doesn't allow for these sort of lectures.
There is a tenure system, but not at every level. He was not in a tenure-abiding position, yet?. You have to earn/compete for one of those positions. You could say he was just a part-time worker in a way.
Maybe I don't get it, but what's up with all this "paying with check" business? Is that what this is all about? Why not stick with credit cards and let THEM do validations. Makes it easier than having every small company having to buy this "shall I trust him" info from a 3rd party
European...never used a check and never wished I had.

Could you possibly make a more arrogant comment? God save american egocentrism.
First phone I looked up...Motorola V980, 215h standby. Battery life has nothing to do with the thing running Linux.
Can't see how this made it to the headlines.
Had it in Spain for over 3 years now!
