Ayers and academic freedom

ACTA president Anne D. Neal has a piece in The New Republic on the academic freedom questions raised by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln's decision to cancel a speech by Bill Ayers. In the article, Neal draws an important distinction between the decision to invite a speaker on campus, which is left to the university's discretion, and the right to speak once an invitation has been extended, which the university must uphold.
