Posted by Eugene Volokh: Britain's Lecturers' Union Votes for a Boycott of Chinese Universities and Academics, http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2007_05_27-2007_06_02.shtml#1180715404
because China denies its students academic freedom. Oh, no, that's not right -- it voted for a boycott of Saudi universities and academics, because of Saudi Arabia's second-class treatment of women. Whoops, I got that wrong -- it voted for a boycott of Iranian universities and academics, because of Iran's oppressive government. D'oh! Wrong again. As best I can tell it hasn't voted for a boycott of any of them; it [1]only voted for "a boycott of Israeli universities and academics yesterday, in protest over Israel's treatment of the Palestinians." Of course.
