and here's a new idea to add to the list of responsibilities:idea: ucd should remain scrupulously neutral in public questions/disputes/contests, not taking sides or even appearing to take sides.A good precept politically, perhaps, but an impossible for any agency to carry out operationally in any walk of life. To follow your reasoning strictly, an adult-literacy program that choose to employ Curriculum A should refrain from taking any action as long as there were public advocates of Curriculum B. It would be better, you are in effect proposing, for there to be no literacy programs at all, than controversial literacy programs.
That's not what his reasoning says at all. He's saying that the adult- literacy program should choose the Curriculum without input from UCD.
Of course it's not possible to be completely neutral. Still, they should stay out of the business of endorsing candidates, even passively, and choose more carefully where they use their muscle.
I also think they could be more transparent about which businesses they help open and which they decline.
