Marquette University puts up a mural honoring a convicted cop murderer who escaped from prison and fled to Cuba.

"The mural caught the attention of one of Marquette's most vocal critics, John McAdams. McAdams was an associate professor of political science until he was suspended for publicly criticizing a teaching assistant last year on his blog for how she handled a discussion of gay marriage in her class...."

On Saturday, McAdams blogged about the mural, Michelle Malkin Charlie Sykes picked up the story, and:

On Sunday evening, Marquette's communications department tweeted out a link to a brief statement that said the mural "in a remote area of campus" was coming down. The mural is inside the Gender and Sexuality Resource Center on an upper floor of the Alumni Memorial Union.

McAdams responds to the response on his (nicely designed!) blog:

It's quite possible they just heard of the mural, since they can hardly keep track of everything that occurs on campus. In fact, the bureaucrats who run the University spend most of their time holed up in Zilber Hall, talking to each other, and don't get out much...

What Marquette has done is to install bureaucracies to cater to the demands of politically correct victim groups � or more property people claiming to represent politically correct victim groups. In those places � the "diversity" bureaucracies, Student Affairs, Campus Ministry and so on � a very narrow and insular worldview prevails...

But worse still, the higher administration doesn't fully comprehended what they have put in place. Rather, the top administrators are proud of their "initiatives" about "diversity" and "inclusion" and "gender and sexuality."  They have pandered to the politically correct, and now are embarrassed at what the politically correct have done.

"Initially, I began with the intention to soundly roast UW�s diversity initiatives."

"Armed with my frustration, I was prepared to call the Office of the Vice Provost on Diversity and Climate and demand what progress had been made with their lengthy, complex resolutions that, as of yet, have not seemed to make waves of any kind in a long-stagnant sea of overwhelming whiteness.... I can�t commend them for their success, but I also cannot condemn them for what I thought was an apathetic and ignorant attitude toward minority experiences on campus.... However, we need tangible evidence that progress is being made...."
