Every university behaves this way & all faculty are muzzled. It’s been this way for decades now. This is just one exceptionally qualified & recognized individual who can afford to take the risk because the media celebrity he gains might compensate for losing his position. He will be gone in the near term “for unrelated reasons” or blocked from ever taking a media appearance until he moves on. Universities are businesses & brands. Their academic values are as useful as those of any other corporation - as propaganda.
