...country, the University of Illinois got a "massive public reaction" denouncing Oliver. That confronted President David D. Henry with a prickly case of academic freedom. Illinois is currently on the censure list of the American Association of University Professors as the result of the 1960 ouster of Biologist Leo Koch, who wrote a letter to the campus newspaper backing premarital sex among students. After a storm of public protest, Henry requested Koch's dean in a letter to relieve the biologist "immediately" of his duties, then had the letter publicized in the press. Henry thus acted without filing formal...
...cover painting was selected after a long search through existing works of art, particularly contemporary American painting and sculpture.

When parents howled in protest, President Henry bounced the professor (now a teacher in a San Francisco prep school) without a hearing on the ground that his views were "contrary to commonly accepted standards of morality." The academic senate unanimously voted to reprimand Koch-but not to fire him. A.A.U.P. censured Illinois on the ground that Koch got no due process. Committee A's investigators also pictured a great university as ideally "an enlightened and lively center of investigation and controversy," and urged that Illinois be scolded for trying to hold a professor to "commonly accepted" morality...
