To return to Dr. Mitchell . . .

I just re-read the thread opener article and the editorial below that I found in the Denver Post (dated March 8).

If you read carefully you will see that Dr. Mitchell was NOT fired. He is still on the payroll, but is not allowed to teach courses in the history department.

When you consider that probably hundreds of non-tenured professors are dismissed every year, for all kinds of ridiculous reasons, and that Mitchell was not fired, just reassigned, then it is no surprise that this is not a big story.
