Any organization that attempts to limit the free spread of ideas, especially
in a university, is inately "bad".  If you really want to censure a professor
for his ideas, don't take his classes.  If enough students disagree with
him, his classes will soon end up being very small.  This is the only
fair way to edit classes.

Our very society is based on the free flow of ideas, especially unpopular ones.
If you don't like this principle, the Soviet Union (especially Leningrad) is a
rather nice place.
