After a recent article written by a conservative student columnist apparently offended administrators, the student was summarily dismissed before his final column appeared.
“after talking with Patrick, we have decided not to hire you again as the Republican columnist for the Mustang Daily….” (a portion of note sent to the conservative student columnist )
It has been my observation and opinion that nothing happens at Cal Poly without direct administrative approval. Given the fact, that this termination occurred right after the writer took the administration to task in a highly circulated article on the mysterious selection process of 3 candidates for campus President…. seems suspicious especially when a columnist of a differing opinion continued. BTW, no candidate for Cal Poly President accepted the position.
Cal Poly continues to have significant unaddressed problems in administrative transparency and disclosure, support for free speech, growing a significantly larger administrative staff and perpetuating a negative campus climate. There seems to be no end in sight.
Cal Poly is obviously ‘learning by doing’ … badly.
