"A History Instructor Complained About Parking Fees. It Cost Him His Job"

He complained about the high price of parking. He disputed the President's numbers in a "cordial" but "tense" public meeting on the topic. He turned over the research documenting his numbers. Two and a half weeks later, the provost fired him, explaining that Tarleton State University would not "tolerate intolerable behavior."

@petersuber @academicchatter I read this article yesterday. It's grimly ironic that this all came out of an "open forum" with the President encouraging discussion. HEAVY SIGH.

Fellow profs (especially law profs), I'm curious:

If you wanted to find all the articles a particular scholar had written, how would you go about doing that?

@design_law @academicchatter Not sure if it's as popular among law professors, but Academia.edu is a good resource for finding articles by scholars, too.

Let's get this @academicchatter moving with a question every academic can chime in on:

What are the top websites/blogs you go to for news of what's going on in your field?

@ml @academicchatter I mean, it might sound basic, but for art history I check the ArtHist-Net list serv and review the ToC for each issue of The Art Journal.
