Demands for EMails—Politics in Academia

For John, BLUF:  Whatever happened to freedom of privacy?  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is an item from the Blog Inside Higher Education.  The item is "Scrutiny of Scholar's Emails", and centers on a funded position at the Lawrence campus of the University of Kansas, funded by the dreaded Koch Brothers.♠  The author is Ms Kaitlin Mulhere and the dateline is 14 January of this year.

If we are going to release EMails at Universities, I think we should release ALL EMails.  Administrators and Academics alike.  Disrupt all communication.  Maybe prices will come down.  And we will have a better idea of what is going on with regard to Campus Sexual Assault.

Or, we could have some respect for the privacy of others.

Hat tip to the Instapundit.

♠  Why is it that the Koch Brothers are bad guys, but George Soros isn't?  I am guessing it is because Mr Sores is seen as a progressive.
