Yale Fail, cont’d.

Bill Quick noticed this (which I’d scanned past and missed) in the Times story:

Ms. Klausen [the author] said she was also disturbed by Yale’s insistence that she could read a 14-page summary of the consultants’ recommendations only if she signed a confidentiality agreement that forbade her from talking about them.  “I perceive it to be a gag order,” she said, after declining to sign.  While she could understand why some of the individuals consulted might prefer to remain unidentified, she said, she did not see why she should be precluded from talking about their conclusions.

Bill comments:

The Acadame’s Star Chamber has ruled.  Who are you to question them?  Or their identities?

And ain’t it interesting how all the academy’s fine talk about open, objective scholarship means absolutely nothing when you throw a bit of good old-fashioned fear into the mix?
