From Ken Anderson:

Mark,

Looks like WSU is backing down from their position on Pollan.  Their
financial excuse evaporated when a private donor (an alumnus) put up the
cash.

May 27, 2009 - WSU Today

WSU will reinstate the original plan for distribution of its Common
Reading book, "The Omnivore's Dilemma," as a result of a private
contribution to support the program, President Elson S. Floyd announced
today.

William Marler, a WSU alumnus and former chair of the Board of Regents,
has offered to pay the costs of bringing Michael Pollan, the author of the
book, to the Pullman campus.
