@ijbailey @NAChristakis "Did they use it as a slur or quote from a historic text?" "The latter." "Okay that's clearly protected by academic freedom so no need to launch an investigation. If you'd like, I'll see if I can get Randall Kennedy and Dr. Mansa come debate if profs should read the word." — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @NAChristakis Yes, I think universities should ignore it when students complain about history or literature professors reading from a commonly used text use a slur that would be bad if they used it as a slur with no academic purpose, because the former is clearly protected by academic freedom — PolitiTweet.org

@ijbailey @NAChristakis Actually I didn't say it should be "ignored." I said no investigation is warranted and that I'd offer to facilitate a campus debate on the matter for the students. That's not ignoring them. It is declining to launch an investigation that violates academic freedom. — PolitiTweet.org
