Thanks for what you do. Organizations like FIRE do make a difference. Turns out I also have a degree from Cal Poly (SLO). I certainly sent President Baker a pointed note, rather than my usual check to the Alumni Association over the harrassment of Steve Hinkle. Glad Poly figured out that the First Amendment applies to them. Too bad it took so long. Poly is generally noted as a more conservative campus than UCSB, but they have some of the same leftist disease that infects most colleges and universities.
How well I know! I used to live in the SLO area with two Cal Poly English professors as neighbors. Both would have aced the KGB entry exam without cracking a book.
