It constitutes an unswerving commitment to the principles of academic freedom and free speech, even when the content of that speech causes us institutional and personal embarrassment, which, I will be frank, it has done in this case. But please do not make the mistake of concluding that the Weatherhead Center has defended Mr. Kramer’s positions. To paraphrase Voltaire, many of us strongly disagree with what...
