Clinton naming kerfuffle at university

The Washington Times reports

An Arkansas lawmaker is concerned that a state law school may have retaliated against a professor who questioned the school’s temporary decision to name a teaching chair after President Bill Clinton.

Republican state Sen. Jason Rapert said he is troubled by what appears to be adverse steps taken by University of Arkansas-Little Rock’s Bowen School of Law against Robert Steinbuch.

The professor says has seen his courseload changed and his request to teach constitutional law denied since he questioned emeritus professor John DiPippa’s move to rename his post the “William Jefferson Clinton Distinguished Chair in Constitutional Law.”

Mr. Rapert, who chairs the Committee on State Agencies and Governmental Affairs, said: “We might have to have another hearing if there is retaliation, especially against those who work for the state of Arkansas and raised issues with the legislature.”
