“Despite the concerns of many of its faculty members and historians nationwide, Southern Methodist University agreed to terms Friday for becoming the home of President Bush’s library and of an institute that will promote the president’s views and that will not be controlled by the university,” according to an Inside Higher Ed report.

That the institute will not be run by “standard academic procedures” has angered many in the education community, who fear it will not critically explore Bush’s legacy. Some faculty members are pushing for the institute to be placed off the campus.
