Anti-MFI opposed to academic freedom?
Does the anti-Milton Friedman Institute group want to muffle certain types of research at the University of Chicago? The thought sounds absurd. Yet, from one of their event invitations (PDF), we discover what is at the heart of this group:
For the first time in many years we have the opportunity to debate the types of knowledge produced at this institution and the decision-making process that governs it. Let’s not waste it.
Academic freedom is widely acknowledged as crucial to a vibrant university, so we don’t feel the need to belabor that point. Sign the petition today in support of the Friedman Institute and academic freedom.
