There was a quick dust-up in Iowa City last Tuesday, when the University of Iowa lowered the American flag atop the Old Capitol to half-staff.
It was to honor Arthur Miller, the U of I professor who committed suicide after being accused of offering female students better grades for so-called "sexual favors." Miller faced criminal charges, and the university was investigating when he took his own life.
The charges were never proved. Miller's death ended all the inquiries.

The university came under criticism for lowering the flag, because some people in Iowa City thought it was wrong to honor a professor facing such accusations.
