I was disheartened to read about the conflict ensuing between members of the administration over the accreditation of the journalism program at Boston University. In the wake of a number of highly publicized and highly politicized events, including the establishment of the Boston University bio-lab and the selection of a new university president, it is incumbent upon the administration to present a united front to the exoteric academic community. The implications for such public disunity are broad and profound. While incongruity of views is expected at an academic institution at Boston University, disagreement must be tempered by consideration of the interests of the University as a whole. The ardent promulgations of President Emeritus Silber, Chariman Zelnick, former Chairman Brann, and Professor Berlin are likely the consequence of genuine concern for the progress of the University and its academic programs. Their public decorum, then, ought not to reflect partisanship, but consideration of Boston University’s best interests. The impetuous quarrelling can be left to us students
