UT Austin's Western Civ Program is no more

Having attended UT Austin as an undergraduate, I was surprised to learn that Dr. Koons was fired from his position as Director of Western Civilization and American Institutions, a Center which he helped create. In order to be politically correct, the Center has been renamed “The Center for Core Texts.”

In case that is still too exclusive, maybe each student can choose whatever texts she pleases. We wouldn’t any books left out.
