Nitpick: We are not *all* complete dumbasses

I really wish all the story headlines, tweets, etc, floating around about how the administration at UofT and Western knuckled under to Access Copyright could be rewritten from

Canadian Universities Submit to Completely Dumbass Copyright Agreement

to

Two Canadian Universities Submit to Completely Dumbass Copyright Agreement

We are not all cowardly dumbasses, and in fact, I would venture to say that the majority of us are quite wroth with the doubtless small number of administrators who approved this deal at a small number of admittedly major Canadian universities.

Yeah, I still have no idea how that would have got past the administration. You have to wonder if they made some egregious mistake when it comes to understanding the text of the agreement, like Howard suggests. I would think something like this could end up prompting a faculty exodus.
