FROM Academe: “Right-wing operatives like Christopher Rufo and Scott Yenor are not concealing the nature of their work. They have been very open about their goals and tactics. Kamola insists we must pay attention to what they say they’re doing.” Isaac Kamola, director of the AAUP’s new Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom, interviewed in Academe: “This is what they say they’re doing. And they’re doing it. I think it is important to take them at their word. To take them seriously. The reports they write and the model legislation they develop may seem, on their face, bankrupt, incoherent, baseless, and cringe. But it’s a clear political strategy backed by millions and millions of dollars. And it is aimed at the heart of higher education.”
