John Coghill Jr. is up for re-election this year. Here is what he has to say about the University of Alaska. 

"I have to tell you though, I have been a critic of the University in areas such as its propensity to undermine our patriotic spirit by focusing heavily on the Marxist style of socio-economic thinking. I also am a critic of the academic dishonesty of the geology and related sciences with regard to evolution. I know that this has little to do with funding, but I wanted you to know why you may hear that I am not an enthusiastic supporter of our University."

I wonder if the people voting for him actually agree with that statement.
