Post Letter: Racist threats should not deter students from everyday life

Feb. 2, 2010

On Tuesday I woke up at 8 a.m., got dressed and went to Arabic class, just like I do every morning. I didn't cower in my room, afraid of what might happen to me during the day. I heard about the threats made at Hocking College but they did not make me change anything about my daily routine. I am aware that some people stayed in their rooms and skipped class out of fear and concern, but I feel that by doing this you are giving these ignorant people who made the threats exactly what they want. They want you to be afraid and to run and hide. They want to hold all the power.

Post Letter: Reader's impact on students invaluable aspect of Scripps

Feb. 2, 2010

I am writing this letter as both a Scripps alumna and as a supporter of Professor Bill Reader. To me, Bill was more than just a professor ­- he was a friend, inspiration and mentor. He guided me through my academic career with patience, care and even some constructive criticism when I needed it. He urged me to be my best, to strive for excellence and helped me hone the skills that I now utilize to earn my livelihood.

Post Letter: 'Post' disappoints, waits too long to cover Reader tenure story

Feb. 1, 2010

We write this letter as journalism students who feel that The Post has slacked in what should be its primary job: reporting the news. Last Friday, Assistant Professor Bill Reader of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism went before a Faculty Senate committee to appeal for his job. Professor Reader has been in the middle of a vicious tenure battle for the better part of a year now. What has resulted is a vicious attack on his character from what we feel are unsubstantiated claims. Furthermore, one of the most unfortunate aspects of this situation is that, until Monday, The Post failed to report what was happening. Instead, they chose to utilize a wait-and-see approach.
