Anyone interested in presidential candidate Fred Thompson’s views on higher education can look to the online archives of his commentary for ABC Radio. Or you can check the Chronicle of Higher Education’s News Blog, which has already combed the archives of the Fred Thompson Report. The news blog links to a lament about political correctness in academia, his call to address the nation’s nursing shortage, commentary on the Virginia Tech tragedy and a plea for colleges to teach more military history, which includes this backhanded compliment to development officers:
One thing we know for sure about colleges, they’re better than bill collectors at tracking you down. If you ever took a single class, you’ll be asked for contributions the rest of your life.
Thompson entered the fray last night, officially announcing his candidacy on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
