Harvard University will announce tomorrow that it will establish an endowed chair in lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender studies, in what is believed to be the first professorship of its kind in the country.

Harvard President Drew G. Faust described the academic post as “an important milestone” in an ongoing effort by faculty, students, and alumni to raise the profile of LGBT studies at the university.

The university has received a $1.5 million gift from the Harvard Gay & Lesbian Caucus, a 4,900 member group, to endow the F.O. Matthiessen Visiting Professorship of Gender and Sexuality. Matthiessen, who Harvard says stands out as an unusual example of a gay man who lived his sexuality as an “open secret” in the mid-20th century, was an American studies scholar and literary critic at Harvard and chaired the undergraduate program in history and literature.

A growing number of colleges have begun offering academic programs related to sex, sexuality, and sexual orientation, though LGBT studies is a relatively young discipline. The City University of New York began the first gay and lesbian studies program in 1986.

“This is an extraordinary moment in Harvard’s history and in the history of this rapidly emerging field,” Mitchell L. Adams, a member of the Harvard Board of Overseers, said in a written statement. “And because of Harvard’s leadership in academia and the world, this gift will foster continued progress toward a more inclusive society.”

Adams is expected to announce the gift during the caucus’s annual commencement dinner tomorrow. The caucus, composed of alumni, faculty, staff, and students, was founded in 1984 to advocate for Harvard’s gay community.

The new professorship will allow Harvard to invite scholars studying sexuality or sexual minorities to teach in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences for one semester.

The visiting professorship will advance LGBT studies at Harvard by exposing students and faculty to cutting-edge ideas as leading thinkers rotate through the position, Harvard officials said, as well as help expand the field. It will also funnel new scholars to Harvard’s women, gender, and sexuality department.

Man cooked parts of slain woman, police say – Crime & courts- msnbc.com
TYLER, Texas – A man killed his girlfriend, then filleted and cooked parts of her body before calling police to tell them what he was doing, authorities said Sunday.

Christopher Lee McCuin, 25, called 911 on Saturday and told an emergency dispatcher he had killed Jana Shearer, 21, and was boiling her body parts at his mother’s home, said Smith County Sheriff J.B. Smith.

When authorities arrived at the home, they found Shearer’s mutilated body, one ear boiling in a pot of water on the stove and a fork sticking out of some human flesh sitting on a plate on the kitchen table.

Bush Kisses Nigger ass
The United States is honoring the slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Junior, on the national holiday that bears his name. VOA White House Correspondent Paula Wolfson reports President Bush marked the occasion with a visit to the Martin Luther King, Junior, Memorial Library in Washington, D.C.

He traveled a few blocks from the White House to the main Washington, D.C. library. During a visit to the children’s reading room, he joined a librarian who was discussing the significance of Reverend King’s life and legacy with a group of boys and girls of various races and religions.

November 25, 2007 — I’ve often been left fascinated – and disturbed – by what makes TV news.

What makes big news? What makes less news? And what makes almost no news at all?

For example, if three local, young white men were charged in the racially motivated, beating death of an illegal African immigrant – the father of eight, no less – what kind of news would that make?

That would make huge news. It not only would lead all local newscasts, it likely would make national newscasts – at or near the top. As well it should.

But last week, after three young black men were arrested in Plainfield, NJ, charged in the robbery and beating murder of an illegal immigrant from Guatemala and police said the married father of eight was targeted because he was Hispanic, the story scarcely made a sound.

In fact, I knew nothing about it until last Sunday, when I read an AP report in a New Jersey newspaper, albeit just six paragraphs on Page 6. Another, larger NJ newspaper carried 15 paragraphs about the arrests in the murder, on Page 36.

Cho’s Professor Nikki Giovanni: Teaching Hate At Virginia Tech

By Steve Sailer

Ever since South Korean immigrant Cho Seung-hui gunned down 32 people at Virginia Tech, there has been much comment that the university should have realized just from his two hate-filled and inept plays that the senior English major was a dangerous creep who needed to be taken away.

For a playwrighting class, Cho penned Mr. Brownstone and Richard McBeef (which, despite the Macbethian title, is a Hamlet-knock off about a young hero’s lethal conflict with the new stepfather who murdered his real father).
