(NBC News 8)  -  A Hillsborough Community College Advisory Council made up of students, faculty and staff voted to drop the Pledge of Allegiance from its meetings.
While members of the Institutional Advisory Committee claim they took the action to save time, preliminary minutes from their September meeting show there was a heated discussion about “The Pledge of Allegiance and its appropriateness in an institution of higher learning which fosters academic freedom and structured dissent against authority.”
