Hillary Clinton once opined “Don’t you know the age of the individual is over?”

University of Arkansas Fayetteville campus Chancellor G. David Gearhart and UAFS Chancellor Paul Beran are moving the Marxist/Communist/Collectivist concept right smack into the University library system.  These two alleged educators” have made the determination that quiet time where individual thinking is more likely to be successful is no longer conducive to their goals and the rows of isolated carrels must be removed and replaced with open spaces and group collectives.

It is the individual, not a collective that allowed the creation of the world’s greatest society ever.

In today’s Arkansas Dem-Gaz the editorial makes a huge point, that tens of thousands of books must be removed in order to create the ensuing spaces & collective.
As stated in my first missive in the case of the U of A Fayetteville, this will be the second makeover in 2 years inviting more opulence on a grand scale and runaway spending in both institutions.
It would be extremely interesting for Beran & Gearhart to explain how academic accomplishments can be better achieved in a group environment as opposed to solitude and more particularly, access to the thousands of books they are removing and who will choose which books on what criterion?

UA Chancellor Gearhart explained that the new library philosophy to be employed in Fayetteville and Fort Smith is “cutting edge”. 

EDITOR GREENBERG IS QUOTED REGARDING THE GEARHART/BERAN OPULENCE “IDEAS DO TEND TO SPREAD, ESPECIALLY BAD IDEAS”.  “FOR WHO CAN RESIST A FASHION, HOWEVER DUBIOUS”.

Gearhart & Beran must be watched closely and most certainly it needs someone besides Gov. Beebe and temporary Higher Education Director Shane Broadway.
