Editorial: At CU, A victory for grown-ups

From this article:

It took a 6-3 party-line vote, but the University of Colorado Board of Regents last week did the right thing by hiring Bruce Benson as president of the four-campus CU system.

The on-campus factions railed against Benson’s job as a successful oil man and his temerity to question the severity of human-caused global warming. They fulminated over the prospect that a guy with only a bachelor’s degree could lead a major American university. Benson’s campus opponents seemed especially peeved that Benson is — gasp! — a Republican who has a history of getting down and dirty in partisan political battles.
