I am so proud of our students, especially FSU Progress Coalition for their research into this matter. Its not just a problem at FSU, of course, but this is very much a sign of things to come, especially when educational leaders are willing to trade academic freedom for increased funding. The media often confuse liberal hatred of the Kochs for the academic opposition this sort of quid pro quo deal. If the Charles Koch Foundation wanted to endow a Chair of Economics at FSU, I wouldnt have any problem with it, but when they insist on having a say in the hiring process, thats a perversion of academic freedom and self governance. This is not a fine line. Its a really important distinction and we need to keep reminding the media that its not about ideology, its about self governance.
