Texas Monthly's Paul Burka doesn't approve of the way the
administration and faculty of SMU's Perkins School of Theology
have expressed their opposition to locating the George Walker
Bush Presidential Library on their campus. He writes:
"The folks at the Perkins School should render unto Caesar:
in this case, the trustees. The decision to accept or reject a
presidential library is not a moral one--and even if it were,
it is not theirs to make." In other words, (1) trustee might
makes right, (2) trustee decisions are nonmoral, like deciding
between an 8 oz. and 6 oz. filet mignon, and (3) you theological
types should stick to your knitting and leave the 
decision-making to senior exective types, like me.
