The "professor" who said US soldiers should kill their officers "resigns." Warren County Community College ^ \| 11/22/05 \| WCCC Home Page This from the WCCC web site on Adj. Professor J. Daley For immediate release: November 22, 2005 Statement from Dr. William Austin President Warren County Community College I firmly believe that the most precious freedom all Americans share is the First Amendment right of freedom of speech. I am committed to working unceasingly to see that it is preserved for all WCCC students, faculty and staff. At the same time, there are existing state laws — as well as College policies and procedures — that must be followed to ensure that all members of our College are free and encouraged to exercise their right to free speech without fear of intimidation or retaliation. I am dedicated to protecting and preserving that freedom. The recent dispute between two members of our College community — Adjunct Instructor John Daly and a student representing a new student club — speaks clearly to the complexity of addressing these issues in these difficult and controversial times. Late today, the Board was informed of Mr. Daly’s decision to resign his Adjunct position at WCCC effective immediately. In its meeting, the Board voted to accept the resignation agreement and instructed the administration to make certain that students in Mr. Daly’s class are offered the highest quality instruction in this interim period. We have already moved ahead in finding a very able member of our faculty to conduct the remainder of Mr. Daly’s classes for this semester. We will also rededicate ourselves to a review of our current policies and procedures to make certain that we continue to foster an open and collegial learning environment at our institution. I personally pledge to see that tolerance training is included in our next faculty and staff in-service, and to consider a broad range of student input in its development.
