'Free Speech' at Hahvahd

A faculty member's right to free speech does not amount to a blank check to engage in behaviors that plainly incite external actors — be it the media, alumni, donors, federal agencies, or the government — to intervene in Harvard's affairs. Along with freedom of expression and the protection of tenure comes a responsibility to exercise good professional judgment and to refrain from conscious action that would seriously harm the University and its independence.
Ain't it wonderful?  "Of course you can speak, you just can't say anything that brings bad publicity to the school!"
Who does he think the place is, the FBI?

Your free speech is violence, their violence is free speech. Reality is terribly upsetting for everyone that refuses to live there.
