When I use a word...it means just what I choose it to mean

Nova Southeastern School of Law Professor Joel Mintz organized the registering of a highly critical response by professors from law schools across the country to the EPA's plan for how it will re-open agency libraries.  The professors decried the lack of specificity in EPA's definition of "core materials" to be restored, the absence of any plans to digitize the EPA's collection and the necessity to make appointments to visit parts of the collection. 

Mintz expressed doubt that the EPA intended to proceed with the re-opening, which was mandated by Congress in the wake of the controversial closings,  before the end of the fiscal year. The professors point out in a letter addressed to ranking Democrats the lack of a firm commitment to fully restore suspended services.  Professor Mintz was joined in signing the letter by Nova Law's Assistant Professor Timothy Arcaro, Associate Professor Richard J. Grosso and Professor Emeritus Joseph F. Smith.  Other signers included professors from law schools nationwide, including Duke, Cleveland-Marshall, Seton Hall, Georgetown and Emory.
