SMU to house Bush library
National Catholic Reporter, March 7, 2008
DALLAS -- Southern Methodist University has formally agreed to house the George W. Bush presidential library, museum and public policy institute on its Dallas campus, despite objections from liberal United Methodists.
Trustees at the United Methodist-related university voted unanimously to green light an agreement with the Bush Presidential Library Foundation on Feb. 22.
Bush and his wife, Laura, a graduate of the university, are United Methodists.
An online petition protesting the Bush Foundation plans garnered more than 11,000 signatures. Some objected to the university, which was founded by Methodists in 1911, housing a partisan think tank promoting the Bush administration on campus. Some Bush policies, particularly the war in Iraq, run counter to Methodist beliefs, they said.
