Bill McElvaney
Honored as the SMU Daily Campus' "Person of
the Year"
Congratulations to Bill McElvaney, who was
recently named one of SMU's "Person of the Year," by the Daily Campus newspaper.
Bill's colleague, Susanne Johnson, was a co-honoree, for their work in opposing
the Bush Presidential Library.
In bestowing this honor, here is part of what the Daily Campus said about Bill McElvaney and Susanne Johnson:
"Before they submitted an opinion piece to the editorial page, there was no ongoing dialogue about what the library project would mean for SMU. It seemed to be generally accepted that at some point there would be an announcement and everyone would embrace what would happen. But everything changed on Nov. 10, 2006."
"The faculty of SMU woke up from their slumber and started to talk amongst themselves. People with concerns began bringing up issues before the Faculty Senate. Our own editorial page has been filled with opinion pieces from both sides of the debate the entire semester."
"...McElvaney and Johnson became the face of an honorable opposition to the institute. They penned additional opinion pieces and agreeed to interviews with this paper and many other media organizations.
We give them credit because they never made the debate about themselves. It was always raising questions about what would be best for the school they cared about so much.
They both set good examples for every student on this campus."
