attempting to shutter Honors Program as well
What is the ultimate end game with this? I'm a current student at UAB with several friends in honors programs. I would hate to see them affected.

AL.com: Some of your blog seems to imply that Ray Watts is actively fighting to dismantle UAB's status. Do you believe this to be the case?
SC: Yes, I do. I still have many friends in the UAB pipeline, many of whom are afraid to go public for fear of losing their jobs. They all, to a one, say that academics are being threatened. The football situation just brought some of those threats to public light. It started early this spring when Watts attacked the University Honors Program and attempted to dismantle a program that's produced numerous Rhodes, Truman and Goldwater Scholars. He said the students in the program were too "elitist." Since when does a University try to dismantle a program that brings it untold academic accolades?
