In an Op-Ed piece last week, professor Caleb Stewart Rossiter asserted "AU's 'Green Teaching Certificate' promotes bias." As the manager of the Center for Teaching Excellence's Faculty Corner, which administrates this program, I feel that professor Rossiter misrepresented the intent of the Green Teaching Certificate.
Imagine the surprise of a student who comes to Washington, pays over $150,000 for an education, graduates with honors, and leaves the university only to find that among the faculty from whom she learned, there remain supporters of fallacious reasoning and archaic ideas. In an appalling Op-Ed piece appearing in Monday's Eagle ("AU's 'Green Teaching' Certificate Promotes Bias"), Professor Rossiter shows his lack of understanding of the Green Teaching Certification, calls the environmental movement simply a "particular conclusion about the tradeoff between the environment and the economy," and ignores that climate change has been significantly linked to human-induced greenhouse gas emissions by an international panel of Nobel Prize-winning scientists (www.ipcc.ch).
Two years ago, I asked panelists at a Kennedy Political Union forum, "Why is it that whenever the United States intervenes in an international problem, nations accuse her of imperialism, but when the United States chooses not to intervene, they accuse her of indifference and neglect?" Certainly being a global leader is no easy task for the nation - so often the citizens of the world contradictorily demand both assistance and autonomy from the United States. President Obama's dilemma may be even greater than that of some of his predecessors. He faces a time when many in the United States are too preoccupied with their own economic troubles to be concerned about the nation's standing in the global community.

One of the Student Government's foremost policy initiatives this year is to see the adoption of an African American studies program in the College of Arts & Sciences.
