Schools, especially colleges, who silence people for 'disapproved' speech, aren't worth of the name

Academic freedom at Stanford is clearly dying. It cannot survive if the administration fails to create an environment where good-faith discussions can occur outside of a framework of ideological rigidity and the false certainties that ideologues—and governments—wish to impose on us. Stanford missed the opportunity to sponsor COVID policy forums and it deplatformed dissenting voices. Several prominent faculty exploited this environment, engaging in actions that directly violated basic academic norms.

A precedent has now been established. Faculty at Stanford should rightly worry whether their professional work will lead to deplatforming, excommunication, and political targeting. In this environment, professors and students alike would be wise to look over their shoulders at all times, in the knowledge that the university no longer has your back. And members of the public should understand that many of those urging them to “trust the science” on complicated matters of public concern are also those working to ensure that “the science” never turns up answers that they don’t like.
Too many others are on the same track.

Throw in that it was recently found that 
“Specifically, there were 15,750 administrators, 2,288 faculty members, and 16,937 students. "
at the place. Literally more admins and faculty than students.  Which would seem to indicate that the real work at Stanford is to provide jobs for brass hats and teachers, not to teach.
