Academic Freedom at Southern Utah University

KC Johnson recently posted an to his blog about a case involving a professor at Southern Utah University.
I attempted to contact Dr. Roberds to find out more about his case when it first came to our attention. While FIREtypically avoids “pure” tenure cases, if the facts are as clear as they appear here, FIREmay be able to help. We have yet to hear from Dr. Roberds directly.
