A growing number of college presidents are setting up blogs, not only to express political opinions but also to criticize some people on the campus and congratulate others, reports The New York Times. For example, the article says, Patricia A. McGuire, president of Trinity College, a Roman Catholic institution in Washington, has blogged about lesbian alumnae and the Catholic Church, among other subjects.
Offering a word of caution, however, is Raymond Cotton, a lawyer who counsels colleges and their presidents in contract negotiations. He is quoted as calling blogging by college leaders "an insane thing to do." –Andrea L. Foster
