[NU Sports] No ifs and and, hopefully, no Butz

[s.fridley at comcast.net]

This guy is, indeed, a flippin' clown.  He apparently achieved tenure in 1974.  He is a professor of Electrical Engineering, NOT of history.

Subsequent to receiving tenue, he published (self-published?) his book, which denies the holocaust. 

I don't believe he actually went to Iran but believe he was "interviewed" by their state-run "newspaper."

It is my understanding that over the years NU has watched VERY carefully to ensure that he never mentions his idiotic theories in class.  I'd have to believe he'd be booted out on his ass in a heartbeat if that happened.

Now, why anyone signs up for his class I don't know...
