Welcome to the wikispace website of the World Affairs __Faculty__ Club. The goals of our club are to discuss controversial world affairs topics, and to do so in a way that models civil, respectful and open-minded discussion. Students are invited to attend our discussions on Days 4 and listen, and also to post on the "Discussion" forums on the website, but only faculty members may contribute to the verbal discussion. (Students are invited to contribute to the verbal discussions of our sibling club, the World Affairs Club, which meets Days 7, also in Room #176.) =====

===Our Next Topic, and Meeting Date: The proposed "Obamacare" health care reform represents an unwarranted departure from practices that have made US health care, and the US generally, successful in the past. //**Tuesday, March 16 .**//===
