UR Free Speech Update

My latest Update on this issue was so far down the page I decided to paste it up here, as well. The links are live in UPDATE II at the bottom of the original post.

There is quite a storm in academic and political circles over Seligman's remarks (much of it available thanks to Instapundit). Check out posts here, here, and, here. The last link includes this quote:

“Most worrisome, however, is the fact that UR allowed its students to disrupt Landsburg’s class without any consequences, despite the fact that campus security was on the scene. What happened in Landsburg’s class is a textbook example of ‘mob censorship,’ where a group of people silence or drown out a speaker with whose views they disagree. A classroom is perhaps the least appropriate place for something like this to happen, and the fact that UR did not see fit to clear the heckling students out of the class is disturbing.”
