As the former writer for Accuracy in Academia, I can't believe there are those who feel that Pipes and others have no right to report what is happening at taxpayer subsidized universities. I spent years exposing the idiotic ramblings and hate-filled speeches by whacked-out professors. I think if you teach for a public university, you should expect to be scrutinized. Afterall, if a professor bases his lectures on solid research, he has notihing to worry about. Those professors opposed to this are typicially those who no longer engage in schalorship but instead have converted their classrooms to propraganda forums.

The public has a right to know and if you don't like this, fine, go start a private university and say whatever you want.
