A story in the Tampba Tribune reports on how the Board of Governors expects a "fair" vote on FSU's chiropractic proposal next week. It will not be a referendum on chiropractic, but "will be decided on whether the school fits FSU's mission as a top-tier research university and how well the school matches the state's priorities for public universities." This would be a great addition to the debate -- with the exception of trustee Garcia, who voted and spoke against the proposal, FSU's trustees did not discuss how the school advances FSU's mission as a top-tier research university. And, to date, on campus consideration of the proposal has not really occurred on what most faculty would describe as fair terms. Hopefully, any decision the BOG makes will be based on facts.
From the fringes of the public sphere, discourse.net, by Professor Michael Froomkin at Miami, blogs on the chiropractic college proposal at FSU: "It’s not a science; in fact it’s more like a cult or a religion," says Froomkin.
