Koch Money Brings Distress Over WFU Well-Being Institute

[wakephan09]

I'm not familiar with politics within universities, but it just sounds very unusual for faculty from one department to apply pressure to have the classes a professor teaches not count toward academic credit. For those on this board that are in academia, (1) is this action fairly common or uncommon, and what circumstances have you seen it applied in, and (2) in your opinion is that action appropriate in this case? Thanks in advance for your responses.

Is the business school a separate entity from Wake Forest College? If so, it makes perfect sense if the College doesn't want to accept degree credit for a class from the business school. Doesn't strike me as particularly unusual at all.
