Stanley Fish on Ward Churchill and Larry Summers
A terrific piece by Stanley Fish in the Chronicle of Higher Education examines the differences and similarities in the Churchill/Summers brouhahas.
Key quote: "There is really not much to say about Summers except that he's a public-relations disaster, a walking time bomb likely to detonate at any moment, especially if his handlers let him out of their sight. One can say something about what issues the Summers brouhaha does
not raise. It does not raise issues of free speech or academic freedom."
Fish's essay is well worth reading.
