U. Va. Looks for Nerve. Finds Law Firm. 0

The University of Virginia has hired a law firm to explore its options in responding to a demand by state Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli that UVa turn over documents and correspondence related to a former climatology researcher.

I saw a long post at another blog arguing that “academic freedom” is not a right.

It isn’t. It’s a value, and it is an essential value in the quest for truth. One would hope that the University of Virginia, where I spent a rather unsatisfactory year a long time ago, would stand up for that value against Cuccinelli’s Wingnut Witchhunt.
