GAZA!!!

I really feel that a professor of ours at SCSU most definitely didn't handle himself appropriately the other night at the Gaza panel in atwood. I totally feel that he made himself look bad and that it looked bad upon our school and our reputation. I think that he had a valid question that needed to be answered but that he imposed himself on the panel, wouldn't let them speak when they were trying to say that there would be a Q&A at the end of the discussion where they would answer his question and for him to please sit down and wait until that time. St Cloud state already has a bad rep. for intolerance and although I don't personally believe that this is what was truly behind the professor acting out, but it did look that way to people who where just coming into the room. Its a sensitive topic with a lot of hurt emotions, but I thought the panel had a great presentation and I learned a lot more on the topic. Also, someone did wait until the Q&A part of the discussion and asked the question that the professor demanded that they answer in the very beginning of the panel, and they gave a justified answer. Its unfortunate that the professor had to disrupt everyone else's learning when he just could have waited until the end of the panel. If he had, he would have gotten his answer.
