Thank Dog.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The state Board of Governors killed a proposed chiropractic school at Florida State University on Thursday, saying the program was pushed by the Legislature instead of the university's faculty and administration.

The 10-3 vote ended a contentious debate and dashed the chiropractic world's hopes of seeing the first chiropractic school open at an American public university.

Florida State President T.K. Wetherell said he would have liked to have seen the school open, but doesn't plan to continue to push for it.

"We've had a difficult time discussing the merits of the proposal at a number of different stops. It's been frustrating, very frustrating," Wetherell said.

The project has been ridiculed by FSU's faculty, who say chiropractic medicine is a pseudoscience. The chiropractic community has been pushing for the school for at least a decade and the issue has been watched nationally.

Hooray for the good guys!!

Now that someone has specifically stated that chiro is pseudoscience perhaps it will be easier to take insurance companies to task for paying for false treatments.
 
They may have lost the battle, but ...

Where do you think they will pop up next? What's the next university in danger of being bought out?
 
Well, that just leaves more room on campus for the meetings of the Faculty Wiccan Coven.
