The Volokh Conspiracy - Alexander Hamilton Center Canceled:

In contrast to Clemson, which just dramatically increased the educational opportunities available to its students, I see that Hamilton College has canceled plans for the Alexander Hamilton Center for the Study of Western Civilization:

Update: Alexander Hamilton Center

Hamilton College has announced that the Alexander Hamilton Center will not be established at this time due to a lack of consensus about institutional oversight of the Center as a Hamilton program. The College administration and trustees believed the Alexander Hamilton Center to have significant potential to enhance the educational experience of Hamilton students and regret that it is not going forward. We are hopeful that -- even in the absence of a formal center structure -- some of the programming that was envisioned can still be realized.

The Hamilton College Alumni for Governance Reform provide the details. Steve Balch and Armavirumque translate.
