Candace: I don’t think that Yale has grown a backbone. What seems to be happening around the country (hat tip to my colleague Jay Schalin) is that student organizations are providing a balance to the left-wing, old-line radical faculty (or, in this case, a timid publisher). A student group at Yale (I haven’t found which one) is bringing the cartoonist to speak. This seems increasingly to be the case — student groups bring in conservative speakers while the official “activities board” brings in the radicals.
