Dr. Gonzalez deserves better. I say we memorialize this travesty with a "Notable Controversies" category at ISU's <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa_State_University" rel="nofollow">Wikipedia page</a>--for historicity's sake and that of future applicants, of course. ISU's science dept is henceforth blacklisted in my book. This is just wrong. Dr. Gonzalez deserves better.

Any university without the ideological bias would be thrilled to have such a prolific young astronomer on staff. Guillermo practically invented the field of study called "The Galactic Habitable Zone". His work in that area made the cover of Scientific American the same year he joined Iowa State. It's featured on NASA's website, Nature, Science, and undoubtedly many, many more-obscure journals. But that's not the point. If Guillermo <em>wanted</em> to make a move he could have done so at any time. Now he's being forced to make a move - uproot himself and his family from where they've established a home and connection with the community. Yes, of course.
