What ever happened to students’ academic freedom?
It is an adjustment when an academic becomes a senior administrator, as they don’t have the same academic freedoms they did as professors.
Just because professors may say the N-word doesn’t mean they should.
If engaging with the public is indeed part of the job of the professor, then universities ought to protect professors who take up the task.
