The Most Controversial Podium Visitor in America?

Inside Higher Ed has an informative piece on the controversy brewing at the University of Minnesota Law School regarding a one-term podium visit for Robert Delahunty from St. Thomas, co-author with Berkeley’s John Yoo of the now notorious "torture memo" (which generated its own, earlier, controversy for Professor Yoo at Boalt.)
