From, “Why I Would Take a Bullet for Cornel West,” by Matthew M. Briones, 11/17/11, The Root:
“In July 2012, Cornel West will make his much anticipated return to Union Theological Seminary -- the site of his first academic job and one of the sacred grounds he calls home – from his current position at the Center for African American Studies at Princeton University. In light of this news and in the context of the recent spate of unfair ad hominem attacks on Cornel within the media and academia, I thought it would be helpful to give readers a glimpse of a student and his teacher.”
Ad Hominem: Attacking an opponent's motives or character rather than the policy or position they maintain.
