Interesting. as a matter of well-settled American constitutional law, the University of Illinois must tolerate words... that demean and abuse either viewpoints themselves or those who express them. The University has no choice, both as a matter of constitutional law and as a matter of its contractual commitment with its faculty to academic freedom. Scathing critiques of both viewpoints and authors abound in almost all scholarly fields; it would be the end of serious scholarly inquiry and debate were administrators to become the arbiters of good manners. More simply, it would be illegal for the University to start punishing its faculty for failure to live up to the Chancellors expectations for civil speech and disagreement.
