Shouldn't really matter if this "academic freedom" thing is what it's touted to be.
This whole sorry situation points to the folly of collectivism (collectively-provided education, especially).
Anything & everything goes, since "we" can't exclude anything, it's "society's campus."
So, everybody, EVERY "voice," gets a seat at the table
blah blah.
Taxpayers, run!!!
We need to privatize this mess right now.
