Seriously, there are important issues raised in this piece about corporate efforts to inject Ayn Rand into the curricula at different universities. (Thanks to David Auerbach for the pointer.)
I'm curious what readers think about the issue of financial donations with subject-matter strings attached. Signed comments are much more likely to appear; all comments must include a valid e-mail address. This is not an invitation to discuss the merits or demerits of Ayn Rand's work. I am interested in what philosophers think about the institutinoal/academic freedom issues involved when money is given to promote a particular viewpoint or author.
