From Phil Orenstein:

In 2007, faculty union leader, Professor Susan O’Malley, a member of CUNY’s Professional Staff Congress executive committee, and former chair of the University Faculty Senate, filed a $2 million defamation lawsuit against lifelong crusader for freedom of speech, Dr. Sharad Karkhanis, Professor Emeritus from Kingsborough Community College, for accusing her of being obsessed with landing teaching jobs for convicted terrorists at CUNY. In his widely read union bashing publication, The Patriot Returns, he calls O’Malley on the carpet for seeking teaching positions for convicted terrorist conspirator, Mohammad Yousry and imprisoned Weather Underground terrorist Susan Rosenberg .
The courageous freedom fighter, Dr. Karkhanis would not be bullied into silence and his persistence in fighting a costly three year lawsuit paid off in a stunning victory for free speech and conscience. In the settlement of O’Malley’s case against Karkhanis, all financial claims and defamation charges were dropped and Karkhanis is free to continue to write and publish The Patriot Returns without “prior restraint.”

Stunning, indeed. And quite a lesson for the leftist cadres at CUNY.
