It's time to resign, Hank Huckaby

From Paul Pierce, not the Boston Celtics player:

It's official: Chancellor of the University System of Georgia, Hank Huckaby, is an idiot. As one of the UGA Drama Majors he just insulted, I can easily inform him of how a University of Georgia theatre degree prepared many, many of my colleagues for excellent careers in a wide range of fields. Yes, many of us have collected our paychecks as actors, directors, designers, playwrights and producers, including plenty of Drama Dawgs with brilliant Broadway and Hollywood careers. But many others have prospered in business, law, engineering, education and scores of jobs on the cutting edge of technology and the rising Creative Economy. Why? Because a drama degree provides these special students with advanced skills which are pure gold in the global marketplace: collaboration and innovation. By the way, Chancellor Dimwit, I invite you to pay a visit to the State Theatre of Georgia here in Columbus so I can show you an engine for regional job creation and economic impact that communities all across the US are scrambling to emulate. Open your eyes, Hank. These Drama Majors that you're joking about are leading many of Georgia's - and America's - most dynamic institutions and industries." Kristin Kundert-GibbsRay PaolinoJohn Patrick BrayMarla CarlsonDavid Saltz
