AMHERST — The president of Hampshire College is digging in his heels and defending his school's controversial decision not to fly the American flag on campus, having recently announced in a college-wide email that protesters will be banned from school grounds following Sunday's demonstrations.
"The demonstration itself, was for the most part, peaceful," President Jonathan Lash wrote in an email sent Tuesday, which was obtained by CampusReform.org. "But with so much outside attention and interest focused on our campus, we feel it's wise to take precautions to increase our security."
"Partnership, not conflict," were the words spoken by President-elect Donald Trump during his acceptance speech. That collaborative approach is what my scholarship on good governance shows is required for effective public administration.
