Academic freedom stolen?
A Cuyamaca College English instructor told police that someone entered his office
last week without his permission and removed an "Obama 08" sticker from his window.
Tim Pagaard brought attention to his sticker in late September when he claimed his academic freedom was threatened after college officials sent out a notice reminding employees not to post signs or stickers supporting or opposing political candidates on campus facilities. The sticker was in public view, near the entrance of the communication arts building.
Pagaard said he was told the district would not take action on the sticker until academic leaders could review the policies that it had invoked.
Pagaard, who teaches literature and rhetoric, said he noticed he sticker missing Thursday evening. There was no sign of a break in, he told police.
Pagaard said a colleague told him a few students had complained about the sticker a day earlier...
