Next professor on the list is the chair of the economics department at Loyola (La.). One set of students thinks he should resign because of things he has said about slavery, and another set thinks he should get a raise. They have dueling petitions. I take it you agree he is not a victim.
As much fun as this is, I still think campus speech is different from the rest of the world, and this list of controversies seems rather, well, academic.
