<p>"I write to express my disapproval of future "Artist in Residence" Susan Rosenberg appointed as a featured speaker and instructor at Hamilton College." </p>
<p>Interesting that the school didn't respond to the withdrawn applications and lack of donors. As Susan Rosenberg made the decision not Hamilton, does that mean the school still thought it was a good idea to have her teach? Are those donors now going to send in the money, and the withdrawn applications going to be resent? Hamilton hasn't changed their views; Susan Rosenberg would still be teaching if others hadn't been up in arms-no pun intended.</p>

From the CNN article: "Since Rosenberg's 58-year prison sentence was commuted in 2001 by President Clinton, she has worked as a writer and an activist for human rights, prisoner rights and AIDS.

I did not realizse Rosenberg had a connection to Pres. Clinton.</p>
<p>Hamilton lost applications and hundreds of thousands of dollars over a single prospective teacher. Not a good business decision. One has to wonder?</p>
<p>We have no idea what communications Ms. Rosenberg and Hamilton had beyond the scenes. And perhaps they figured that since there had been no outcry (assuming there was none) over her teaching at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, that it would fly in upstate New York too. Also, my understanding is that the school per se didn't hire her, but that a student group did.</p>
<p>How does a student group hire someone to teach a class? Does this student group also pay her?</p>
<p>it was a seminar.</p>
