Stanford fires first tenured professor at 70 years
Stanford University voted 20-2 to dismiss tenured English professor H. Bruce Franklin for fomenting violence on campus last winter. Franklin, labeled a Maoist by the university, was suspended last spring and then fired after a two hour board session reviewing a 168 page faculty report. The decision, supported by President Richard Lyman, was described as a landmark in protecting higher education from attacks on free expression while ensuring violence is not tolerated.
