Life Parallels Art at St. Bonaventure
Lewis, Lionel S.
Academic Questions, v15 n3 p53-58 Jun 2002
In this article, the author chronicles the summary firing of Joseph Greer, a veteran sociology professor, over allegations of racism that evoke comparison to a Philip Roth novel about political correctness run amuck. Unlike the fictional story, the faculty at St. Bonaventure University did not seem to have much of an appetite for censuring colleagues as a means of addressing perceived social injustices. It is clear that there is a preoccupation with racism, real or imagined, on the part of some at St. Bonaventure. What is less clear is a preoccupation with creating educational opportunities for minorities.
