Should those kinds of statements fall under the rubric of academic freedom?  I'm not sure.

I wonder whether they all have tenure and whether something like this can affect (or has affected) tenure decisions. We have talked about students' online personas affecting their prospects for employment, but how does this work re: faculty?
