Fulbright U Vietnam Leader Criticized for War Record

The appointment of former U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey to chair the board of a new American-backed private university in Vietnam has triggered debate due to his role in the killing of women and children as a commander of a Navy SEAL squad during the Vietnam War, The New York Times reported. Kerrey said that he would resign from the board of the institution, Fulbright University Vietnam, if he has reason to believe his remaining chairman would put the institution at risk.
