But Kinneavy did not always prevail. Even in defeat he valued above all the process of politics and honored the tradition of democratic engagement win or lose. When there was little or no hope of prevailing in a struggle, he understood how voices of reasonable dissent are essential to the political process and that people are at their best when engaged in respectful debate. Distributed to the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts, the Executive Vice President and Provost, and the President on December 7, 1999.
