UChi Faculty: Obama Library Socially Regressive

It seems that the old community organizer couldn’t organize the community at his old place of employment. “More than 100 members of the University of Chicago faculty are asking the Obama Foundation to move the proposed library honoring the 44th president to a new location because the plan as currently constituted is ‘socially regressive,’” Bradford Richardson reports in The Washington Times. “The Obama Presidential Center will not provide the ‘promised development or economic benefits’ to surrounding neighborhoods, the professors write and could cost more than $100 million in state funds.”
