Keith, you wouldn't feel that your academic freedom would be infringed if a professor were booted without an examination of the material or even a single person knowing what his claims actually are? Just based on a single line in a newspaper article describing what we can only assume is the most sensational part of his intended lecture, and without context? What if he's presenting it to be debunked by the class as an exercise but loses his job on the strength of this newspaper article -- would you still feel that your academic freedom had not been infringed then? What I've been trying to say (and for some reason this got me labeled as a 9/11 Denier) is that someone should, you know, find out what he's actually saying before the man is condemned for saying it. -Aaron -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
