email list.
2) Some expressed concern over the search for the History and
Philosophy of Science position. (After sharp criticism of the
critics by Ken Fountain, it was pointed out to Ken that AAUP had
not taken a position on this matter or made a statement. It was
recommend to Ken that he look at the letters of David Robinson
and the History discipline on this matter and voice his position
to these individuals. )
