...invalidate a Georgia anti-sodomy law that, Tribe said, violated his gay client’s fundamental right to private sexual association. Tribe lost, but he was redeemed 17 years later when, sitting in a packed courtroom, he heard Justice Anthony Kennedy say, “Bowers was not correct when it was decided, and it is not correct today...
...Fields Medal—is an iconic example of the unlimited possibilities in open online science. Perelman’s proof never underwent the trials of a typical peer-review process, but expert mathematicians have scrutinized his work to such an extent that it is widely considered to be correct. And this success is far from the exception to the rule. The database of electronic preprints of scientific papers on which the proof was published, arXiv, has seen credible research of consistent quality in mathematics, physics, computer science, and quantitative biology. arXiv has even replaced traditional journals as the primary...

The Guide is correct about one thing: There is room for extensive and even radical debate about controversial issues on campus. Unfortunately, the way in which it presents these issues damages any hope of rational debate. With more reasonable language and less distortion of reality, the Guide might have made a valuable contribution to discussion...
