The Washington Free Beacon broke a story about a diversity bureaucrat gone mad at Yale Law School, and yesterday ran a follow-up on the reaction of legal academics. It included this quote:
Martha Nussbaum, a left-wing legal theorist at the University of Chicago, said it "would be appalling and chilling" for any administrator to suggest that "the Federalist Society is per se racist," as Yale Law School diversity director Yassen Eldik alleged. Nussbaum's Chicago colleague Brian Leiter—who has argued that future generations are "doomed" if America does not one day embrace socialism—agreed, telling the Free Beacon that "Yale has some serious academic freedom and free expression problems."
What I actually told the reporter was this: "Between DEI administrators running amok, and rich donors meddling in courses, I would say Yale has some serious academic freedom and free expression problems!" No mention of the latter in the story, which is, in fact, the much more serious recent violation exposed at Yale.
