I suppose we must all suffer small indignities in our professional as well as personal lives. Some are best ignored, but others require an apology. In your lead article on recent tenure decisions Professor Griffin is identified as a member of the ME faculty. Your editorial implies the same. Newspeak should be aware, as much of the rest of the campus is, that Prof. Griffin has a reputation as an outstanding teacher of economics in the Department of Social Science and Policy Studies. We, in the department, been enriched by his presence and are not even willing to share him with Mechanical Engineering. You owe him an apology.
