Stanley Fish

I should have posted this earlier. FIU and The Miami Herald confirm that writer/professor/pugilist/contrarian Stanley Fish will teach a class at the School of Law. His name doesn't resound outside academia and the op-ed pages, but it's a hiring bound to give the law school (and FIU) national publicity.

Incidentally, he wrote a essay for the 13 May issue of Chronicle of Higher Education positing that remarks made by former University of Colorado professor Ward "Little Eichmann" Churchill and Harvard University President Lawrence Summers were not framed in the proper context: "the issues they raise are by and large issues of administrative judgment and not issues of academic freedom or free speech."
