Outside speakers—like President Ahmadinejad at Columbia, Mohammed Khatami at Harvard, and the plagiarizing former professor Ward Churchill at Hamilton College, although the last was ultimately cancelled—contribute nothing but the universities’ effective condemnation of American foreign policy. Universities demand and expect academic freedom, by which they mean freedom to make unrelated...
