CDA National Conv. Postponed Washington Univ backs out...........

[tulip]

.......due to political pressure. How could this be? I thought it was a state school not a GOP run school. I wonder if Democrats in Missouri know that their tax dollars are supporting a GOP state run university? Does this fall under "political discrimination"?

Convention Registration Postponed
Registration for the 2006 CDA National Convention will be postponed due to Washington University backing out as the host university. Due to unkown political pressures, Washington University recently came forward and decided that they were no longer able to host. We are in the process of finalizing another contract with St. Louis University for July 20-23 and will begin registration as soon as we have signed the contract. Thanks for your patience.

2. WOw, this dictatorship has its boot print everywhere...

I am guessing the Rove told the wealthy WashU benefactors to threaten funding pull-outs if the CDA was held there.
