UMass Chaplain Ken Higgins failed in his attempt to trade history credits for students willing to work on the Obama campaign.
From the Boston Herald.
University of Massachusetts officials yesterday quashed efforts by an Amherst campus chaplain to offer two college credits to any student willing to campaign in New Hampshire this fall for Democrat Barack Obama.
Chaplain Ken Higgins told students in a Sept. 18 e-mail, “If you’re scared about the prospects for this election, you’re not alone. The most important way to make a difference in the outcome is to activate yourself. It would be just fine with McCain if Obama supporters just think about helping, then sleep in and stay home between now and Election Day.”
Higgins added that an unnamed “sponsor” in the university’s History Department would offer a two-credit independent study for students willing to canvass or volunteer on behalf of the Democratic nominee.
Higgins is going to get off scot-free, but you can bet that if he had tried doing this for McCain he would have been banned from UMass faster that you can blink and probably charged with a crime.

Justice will not have been done unless the un-named sponsor of this scheme is identified, and suffers the negative consequences of his actions.
It seems to me past time for some group of college students’ parents to mount a class action against some school where agitprop is being sold as education.
Is there anyone even remotely connected with Senator Obama with a grain of integrity? If Ken Higgins represents himself as a Christian Chaplain, that detail is not mentioned, and he supports the Obama / Biden platform, he needs to occasionally refer to his Bible for some issue clarification.
