How is it unfair to prevent someone from teaching something the university does not want taught? As a conservative, is it your position that an employer has no right to determine what employees do in their official capacities?

So you admit that the universities are lying about the reason for the "non-termination" terminations? And about the employers, reread my answer to you about Ms. Comer.

Where have I said this? I have no inside knowledge of these cases, and I will thank you in advance for not putting words in my mouth.

Academic freedom may give tenured professors the right not to be fired for what they say and write, but it does not prevent the University from removing them from teaching.

All the more reason for considering at tenure review whether a person is likely to be productive after being give a job guarantee. It is reasonable to ask whether a person will contribute to the goals of the university or will use the job guarantee to pursue activities detrimental to the interests of the university.
