Reagan Republicans wept today.
The ambitious plan to build a Ronald Reagan University came to an abrupt end when Nancy Reagan announced that the former president would not support creation of the proposed school.
“I appreciate the good intentions of public officials and citizens of Colorado to establish Ronald Reagan University in the Denver metropolitan area,” Nancy Reagan said in a statement late Thursday. She added, however, that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif., has “an important educational component” of its own. Accordingly, the statement concluded, “We do not support the creation of a separate university.”
Oh well.
