There's A New Sheriff In Boulder

Or at least there would be if the readers of Fraters Libertas had anything to do with it. Yes, the polls are closed and the results are in. And the person that you feel should be the new president of the University of Colorado (CU) is...



...Eric Cartman from South Park. Cartman captured 29% of the votes cast easily outdistancing King Banaian and Hugh Hewitt who both finished with 23% of the tallies (King narrowly edged Hugh to finish second). Here are the complete results:

Eric Cartman from South Park 29%
King Banaian of SCSU Scholars 23%
Hugh Hewitt 23%
Pam Dawber (Mindy) 12%
John Elway 5%
Ward Churchill 4%
Glen Reynolds of Instapundit 2%
Professor Bainbridge 2%

Choosing a cartoon character over a field of highly qualified candidates to head up a renowned educational institute speaks volumes about the perception that much of the public has about the state of higher learning in our country. Or maybe it just speaks volumes about the maturity level of our readers. Either way, the people have spoken. Respect their ah-thor-a-taay.
