Comments

  1. Irisholt: about time someone put the academy in check, always felt like they were stifling free thinking over there
  2. Shadow Moth: not sure why West Point would want to stifle free speech in the first place, especially among profs. Guess it was only a matter of time before someone challenged this
  3. Theo: about time, but honestly surprised no one brought up the gray area with cadets' access to these publications
  4. Mia: it's a small win for academic freedom but what about students? will this apply to them as well?
  5. Miawex: That changes how I view professors speaking out on campus elsewhere too somehow
  6. Taliaweber: Prior approval? That's cute. Guess the West Point faculty just wanted to reenact some sort of dystopian novella
  7. Freyas: this verdict could be a game-changer for professors who want to speak out, great decision
  8. Aidenh: interesting to see academia get a free speech win - what's next for West Point?
  9. Verasuzuki: about time they reined in some of the academy's overreach – academic freedom is crucial
  10. Hollow Drift: you'd think a military academy would be at the forefront of free expression
  11. Iris: not that surprising, given the trend towards academic freedom in education, but still a notable shift
  12. Noah: finally some common sense in higher ed, about time too
  13. Silent Moth: it's a bit much that they had to go through this in the first place but glad it's settled
