1. Tim Clemente:

   The fact that we can’t even look at somebody’s heritage or religious background in a Muslim that’s a Muslim extremist – that’s what we need to look for, to exclude the FBI from looking in that direction is a mistake. We’ve gone so far in political correctness to stay away from the term ‘profiling’ that we can’t do a regular investigation.

   In all too many cases, we have political correctness now becoming political craziness, students are making demands -- faculty, deans, presidents are yielding, resigning [to them]. At the very least, they hold meetings and conferences. We didn't do that. Student groups made more than a dozen literally crazy demands with no rational basis and our university ignored them and nothing has happened.
