Law Blog - WSJ.com : L’Affair Chemerinsky: A Battle in the LA Times
In his op-ed, Chemerinsky wrote that the chancellor’s decision was an attack on “academic freedom,” and that the chancellor made it clear to him there was outside resistence to his political views, including on the board of regents. (Several regents told the Times Chemerinsky’s appointment would have been approved.)
I’m sorry, but I still can’t get too worked up about all this. Chemerinsky’s entire career has been an attack on not just academic freedom, but First Amendment rights in general - for conservatives.
Hoist, petard, some assembly required.
