the same google search will quickly provide the names of the twenty or so trustees of Columbia University. These are the people with the actual power, when push comes to shove. the conventional wisdom is that academic freedom protects a professor, but academic freedom is a narrower issue than the public supposes. For this professor to make treasonous statements is his own personal choice in a democracy, but it has nothing to do with the subject matter he teaches nor with his position at Columbia, so there is no reason why the trustees could not instruct the president of Columbia to dismiss him. What he did does not fall under the purview of academic freedom at all. It does fall under his free speech rights, but he should not expect to be immune from adverse consequences of a free speech right he chose unwisely to exercise. Any of us are intellegent enough, even if not an Ivy League Anthropology Professor, to know that what you say can have consequences, and getting fired could be one of them. Columbia trustees-- make history and fire the radical bastard.
