Open Letter: Georgetown and Feith

James O'Donnell
Provost
Georgetown University

Dear Professor O'Donnell:

I'm writing to register my dissapointment with your involvement in selecting Douglas J. Feith to serve on the Georgetown faculty. I understand the rationale of hiring a government practitioner; however, given the many alternative options and Mr. Feith's record, your unfortunate decision reflects poorly on Georgetown as an institution.

It would help place Georgetown University in better standing in my mind if you would conduct a retrospective poll of the faculty's views on the appointment of Mr. Feith.

Thank you for your consideration.
