Prof. K. C. Johnson really takes the measure of AAUP’s Cary Nelson in this essay at Minding the Campus.

Rather than unequivocally defending professors under fire for their opinions, Nelson has hedged so as to give leftists who prefer to keep out non-leftists enough wiggle room to do so. It’s hard to believe that Nelson would have taken the same approach if the two cases had involved advocacy of causes dear to his “social justice” sensibilities.
