I, too, hate academic freedom
Let's turn it about, then:
The Graduate Assembly voted at its meeting last week to administer a poll to gauge student opinions on the university’s relationship to the research and development of nuclear weapons.
The resolution calling for a poll was authored by Astronomy delegate Pancho Ramos-Stierle, who said the university’s involvement in the development of nuclear weapons should be determined by the desires of the majority of the community.
"I think it is very important to demonstrate the University of California is a democratic institution," he said. Shall we subject Pancho's research to majority vote, too? Or does he get academic freedom?
