The Joy Of Tenure
-
There's a professor at historically-black state-funded college Lincoln University near Philadelphia who also happens to be virulently anti-Semitic, a Holocaust denier. He's also anti-gay. And he's suggested that Bill Cosby's accusers are -- his word -- "sluts." The school is standing behind him on free speech grounds; he says that stuff online and in person but not, the school says, in class. Should his personal views matter? Is the measure for what you can and can't say and do in your personal life different for teachers than, say, pipefitters? (Philadelphia Inquirer)
