Yes, Prof. Green posted a critical post about the NSA, and then JHU asked him to remove the post from their servers[1]. I'm stunned; academic freedom is evidently an illusion in some parts of the US.
How deeply have our academic institutions been co-opted by the intelligence community?
1. JHU then had a dean apologize, but it was almost certainly only a reaction to the negative publicity that ensued:

- s_q_b 13y agoThere's also the CIA Officer in Residence program, which I actually think is great because you get to meet people with IC experience who can point you in the direction of all sorts of cool unclassified tech. And of course the quickly retracted notices not to read the Wikileaks cables if we ever wanted a security clearance that went out to all the Ivies, which were not so great. I believe Columbia was even stupid enough to email instructions to their students not to read vital source material if it came from Wikileaks.
- wahsd 13y agoThe apology was also removed. With the NSA committing industrial espionage and able to do insider trading in order to fund its operations off the books I am sure they can also most generously "donate" money to Universities.
