Relevant quote:

"When he emerged in April from his physical and emotional recuperation, he stunned Harvard by announcing his resignation and his intention to bolt for Princeton, which had courted him for more than a year and where he will begin teaching later this month.

"And then, as is West's way, he hit the road with those infamous extracurricular activities about which Summers had complained. He popped up at Paisley Park in Minneapolis with Prince for his "Xenophobia" conference and concert to which the musician had invited him. He wound up in Washington for a protest on the Middle East and got himself arrested for the TV cameras (and quickly released)."

Thank you Kathy for submitting this story. I think Cornel est is BRILLIANT. He's the 'Black Voice' of our time, and unfortunately is seldom heard. I never thought I'd see the day; Cornel West and Prince And people say Prince is on a decline? In my opinion; if Cornel West shows up at your party/celebration at your house! That means you've made it
