The NY Times ran an article (reg. required) about the troubles balancing academic freedom with angry constituencies in Sunday's paper.
The issues,of which Columbia has had 4 in the last few months, are similar to our own. Our own discussion of religion on campus fits. Barrett, of course, is the most divisive issue at the moment. It seems to me that Palmeri and crew might claim that my anti-Barrett comments are similar in spirit to those who caused a brawl during a speaking engagement there.
The article dwells on the political aspects of the controversies at Columbia, noting its attempt to raise its profile in admission.
It also discusses the president's complaints that nuance is being ignored for belligerency.
