Think tanks are a little different. It's closer to a professor getting fired for pursuing research that casts a bad light on a corporate donor to the school. What's the most troubling to me is not that this individual was fired, but his entire line of inquiry was ejected by Google.
- ProAm 9y agoThink tanks have always been biased research institutions used to shape policy. When you don't play ball for the entity funding the team be prepared to not play for that team anymore.
- tedunangst 9y agoOne of the perks of university is there's hopefully a little more distance between admin and fund raising and research, plus tenure, diverse funding, etc. to counteract exactly this scenario.
