When is a learning institution not?

Listening to Radio National, heard about a report recently published attacking American dissent within the US university system, particularly academics who criticise the S-11 response. While justifying the report's existence by saying that it has the right to reply against the dissenters, it publishes the institutions and names of academics who have dissented (Read the Transcript ) . I don't like to use the word hypocrisy, but it does seem rather short-sighted to produce a report attacking the very application of freedom of speech, while using this principle to support its own publication. There's probably more to say, but it's best if you just read links.

You can access the actual report in pdf format here:
