…some of whom were involved in the disgraceful Kipnis affair (which they actually have the audacity to revisit and try to rationalize in this new letter–and see also).  Here's the letter.  I would guess from the content that one of the primary authors was the author of the FP blog post we discussed awhile back.  (The letter even cites the FP blog post, and makes clear the author learned nothing from the discussion of it, which is part of what is quite alarming about these zealots.) This crowd has long made clear their contempt for fairness and due process, so their posture in this matter is hardly surprising.  I assume the adults at the AAUP will ignore this.
