"...this is a case that should ring alarm bells not just for all academics
undertaking controversial work - but for the general public, which has a right
to expect that the institutions funded by its tax dollars will support and
protect academic freedom, rather than work against it."
Via Muse, who wrote:
When we lose investigative journalism, when we lose academic freedom,
and when we lose whistleblowers, we lose our capacity for honest
social self-reflection. Without respect for and protection of truth
it is impossible to have an evolving and just society. We can't let
businesses buy and remove your right to justice.
