Opinion | Stanford's president is abusing 'Academic Freedom'

The Editorial Board argues that President Marc Tessier-Lavigne and Hoover Director Condoleezza Rice abused the concept of academic freedom to protect Rupert Murdoch’s position on the Hoover Institution’s Board of Overseers. “Actual malice — the knowing or reckless publication of false information — would violate the core purpose of Academic Freedom: the pursuit and dissemination of truth,” the Board writes.
