The Duke lacrosse players’ lawsuit against Duke University evidently violates Duke’s speech code. Naturally, Duke is doing what now comes naturally to academics and academic administrators: trying to shut down the players’ speechcrime – their court filings, which they’ve had the temerity to post on the internet. (Scroll down to "Documents".)
Presumably Duke will soon discover that the courts have not yet reached the level of enlightenment about freedom of speech (and freedom of thought) that may be taken for granted on campus.
Sheesh.
For more on the Duke case, including this latest, catch up with K.C. Johnson’s Durham in Wonderland website. K.C. Johnson has been calm, tenacious, truthful, and very effective in battling for justice throughout the Duke lacrosse affair – an affair that continues to be enormously revealing about the academic mentality at Duke, and not only at Duke.
