Tom Ross: A history of funding various left wing activism

He was quickly confirmed to replace Erskine Bowles as head of the UNC system, but serious questions linger about his judgment.

Noteworthy:

"A friend to many far-left organizations and a relative novice to higher education, Thomas Ross makes for an unfortunately predictable choice to be the next President of the University of North Carolina System. From a career in law to his seven years as Executive Director of the far-left funding mechanism - Z. Smith Reynolds Foundation - and President of Davidson College for three years, Ross is set to succeed current UNC President Erskine Bowles in January 2011. What is really alarming about the North Carolina Board of Governor's choice of Ross as the heir apparent is his long history of steering hundreds of thousands in contributions to dubious organizations like ACORN.

...After scrutinizing Ross's record, it seems clear that the UNC System is positioned to take a decidedly left turn, and the new President's credentials leaves much to be desired. One can only hope that the implications of his leftist background and being a neophyte to the realm of higher education won't be passed on to the hundreds of thousands of North Carolinian students he will oversee."

It's just more Business As Usual at the statewide level.

  1. Of course he's a ragin' liberal. Who else would you get to replace Irksome Bowels?
    The liberal indoctrination of our youth is alive and well in the UNC system.
