    Towson University plans to honor longtime professor despite criticism of his role advising controversial student group
    Richard Vatz, a professor at TU for 41 years, says he tends to want to help conservative groups because there’s ‘so much anti-conservatism in higher education.’ But he said he told Turning Point members that their remarks were inappropriate and that he would quit as their advisor if they continued.
    Towson University students protest that the University hosted Attorney General nominee Michael Peroutka and Gordana Schifanelli, Dan Cox running mate in the West Village Commons Ballroom A from 6-8pm.  The League of the South, according to its website, seeks to “return to a more traditional, conservative Christian-oriented Southern culture.” The Southern Poverty Law Center has labeled The League of the South as a hate group.
