Win Myers reports that Penn president Amy Gutmann is one of 16 U.S. higher-education leaders named to the National Security Higher Education Board.

(For those who don’t know, she’s the one who posed for a photograph with a student dressed as a student bomber.)

This makes me queasy and curious about the board’s proceedings.

Who else serves on it? Why were they chosen? What have Guttman and the other members contributed to security on campuses? Do they understand that our campuses can become conduits for terrorism as well as movements and ideologies sympathetic to it?
