Whether or not this is passed this term or not, it seems like the handwriting is on the wall for this.  This will make it even harder to recruit and even easier to think about leaving this state.

One can only hope that State and Ole Miss have enough clout to kill this.

I hope so.

For all the good some post-Ayers changes could bring, it could also bring a very bad period for higher education in Mississippi. 

All higher education needs some positive publicity to counter the all too common idea that faculty members work only 15-20 hours a week for huge salaries.
