Just when I thought I found an interesting story about academic freedom, I find out that it was already old news.
Illinois took it back last week.
The Chronicle also reports that several other state institutions have reversed themselves in trying to ban campaign advertisements. The University of Missouri at St. Louis and Texas-Austin both reversed themselves this week on the same question, involving both classrooms and students.
Maybe it is because Obama is surging in the polls -- it no longer looks less like political advocacy and more like preparation for the next presidency. . . .
