Stephen Maher added,
Having Ottawa use purse strings to set University policy is the very opposite of free speech, as traditionally understood.
would also be nice if people knew the difference between academic freedom and free speech.
One arises from the other. The root principle is constant.
they are related. a historical purpose academic freedom is to protect faculty from retaliation for speech *outside* of their academic role.
within our academic roles, many things that are protected free speech (e.g. lying) are not protected by academic freedom, which has higher standards for professional speech.
academia is organized around the peer assessment of the quality of ideas and "speech" (papers, lectures, etc). This bears little relationship to broad free speech protections that protect from govt censure.
Sure but in this case having Ottawa use purse strings to set speech policy is opposite of both free speech & academic freedom.
Definitely. Just pointing out that free speech is the wrong issues anyway. Would be more satisfying to oppose a coherent argument.
