I am ashamed to be an alum of a university that would have an "Institute" named after the Republican hatchet man Bob Dole.

I'm not a Republican, however I'm not ashamed at all to have an institute named after Bob Dole. He is one of the most accomplished Kansans of all time. He is a war hero and respected by Republicans and Democrats alike (as evidenced by the dedication a few years ago). I am a proud alumnus of KU and will continue to be so.
