To fully understand this, you have to know that the Chancellor, John
Silber, is one of -- perhaps *the* -- most contentious people in Boston.
He is adamant in his views, refusing to budge on what he sees as
necessary, regardless of what other think. He, for example, belives that
high school diplomas should be withheld from students who aren't fluent
in English and basic mathematics. He is happy to flunk BU students with
poor grades. If you are ignorant about history, he'll tell you that to
your face. His campaign for governor several years ago was a disaster
because he was too honest and open about stating his opinions rather
than saying what would have gotten him the most votes.


From this description... I'd vote for him for President of the US.
Flunking those who can't communicate or do basic math? What a concept!!
