Under the rules that he teaches it appears to me that he should be able to keep his job and not be fired.
However, because I disagree with the views of the AAC and University of Colorado that if it were up to me I would fire him.
Doesn't seem too complex.

Ok, so you acknowledge that under the current rules he hasn't done anything wrong and doesn't deserve to be fired, but you want to change the rules because you want him fired.
Is that what you were trying to say?

OKay I guess the easiest thing to say is that I don;t believe that every university has to have academic freedom. I have no problem if professors get fired for writing about stuff the university doesn't like. If they feel that is not right don;t work there.
I would say that was wht I was getting at when I said that my view of academic freedom is much different then what I would expect at the University of Colorado. [/b][/quote]
Great, nothing like universities where professors get fired if thier research leads them to the wrong conclusion. I think I'd like to go to your university, no need to do any research, just ask Dean Moon what he thinks is appropriate and go ahead and publish that. And if you must do any research, make sure you don't go ahead and prove anything too controversial, cause that'll probably get you fired.
Topics to avoid research on:
Evolution
Anything related to religion or Philosophy (we don't know what Dean Moon thinks on these subjects, so best not to test those waters)
Political Science
This is not a complete list, so be careful.
