Alberto Gonzales To Teach At Texas Tech

LUBBOCK, Texas — Alberto Gonzales, who resigned as U.S. attorney general two years ago, is coming to Texas Tech this fall to teach political science.

Texas Tech Unversity System Chancellor Kent Hance confirmed the hiring on Tuesday.

It was first reported on the Austin American-Statesman in its online edition. A senior business assistant in Tech's political science department, Dora Rodriguez, told the newspaper that Gonzales will teach a "special topics" course on contemporary issues in the executive branch.

Gonzales served as then-Gov. George W. Bush's personal attorney, then was Texas secretary of state and a Texas Supreme Court justice before joining Bush in Washington.

Wouldn't his Special Topics be "Circumventing the Constitution" & "The rules don't Apply to Me"?

[Forester]

He should be employed stamping out license plates in prison.

I feel for all you Red Raiders who get to be massively embarrassed by this. I know if that P O S was ever hired by UT, all of Austin would be up in arms (including me).
