To the editor:

As a Kansas University business school graduate, I am once again appalled by the lack of judgment the business school administration revealed by choosing Kris Kobach as its 2011 Vickers speaker. I believe that a few years ago Ann Coulter was chosen. What is it with the B School leaders these days? Are they members of the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing think tank? Kobach’s controversial stances on immigration, voter fraud and ID requirements are well publicized. Why give him an official platform to spout his views by a taxpayer-funded university?

I was happy to see that he is being prohibited from receiving the normal $10,000 fee for speaking. I doubt that the choice of Kobach had anything to do with saving the $10,000. That would be too logical.
