Jana left a comment here, pointing us to the National Coalition Against Censorship blog and website. I haven’t had much time yet, but they are duly bookmarked. Especially given this quote she posted:

Tolerance for politically unpopular views is not always evident on campuses, any more than it is in the world at large, but the university bears a special responsibility to protect freedom of thought and expression. The right to speak, write and think independently is at the core of higher education. It is up to members of the academy to convey this critical message not only to their students but to a larger community. This goal can be advanced if, in the future, similar controversies are addressed in a more deliberative fashion, with regard for all the interests and values at stake(…) (J. Bertin – NCAC)

And this from an article entitled Ward Churchill Redux:

It is virtually inevitable that holders of unconventional or controversial views will be attacked on professional grounds. The consequent chilling effect on professors’ freedom to express political views is likewise predictable.  To prevent this damaging sequence of events, universities and scholars should always defend colleagues’ right to hold and express controversial views as a matter ofa principle, regardless of whether they agree with them or respect their scholarship.
