Just saw the drama surrounding the Columbia Law Review publishing that controversial article on Israel. Pretty intense stuff.

Personally, I'm torn. On one hand, academic freedom is crucial. On the other hand, you've got to consider the potential impact of such a charged piece.

I'm curious, where do you draw the line? Is it the editorial board's responsibility to filter out potentially damaging content, or should they uphold academic freedom no matter what?

Academic freedom and editorial independence should have won out here unless there are material facts not currently public. By the sound of it i would have vigorously disagreed with the article and found it offensive but the whole point is that not controlling.

As I understand it, it was not the entire law review. A subset of the law review created a secret listserv and secret shared drive to edit the documents so the rest of the law review would not find out. Typically an article would be shared with more of the law review as well as those who have critical viewpoints to make the content of the article stronger. Topic aside, this piece did not run the gauntlet in that way and some students believe that it is a weaker piece as a result.

Is law the only field where students run the academic journals?

I don’t think academic freedom means you get to publish whatever you want wherever you want. I got into law journal and had an article published in it presumably due to the quality of my legal research and reasoning. I assume the journal and the BoD has standard criteria by which they evaluate pieces for publication, which are independent of topic or viewpoint. Apply those.

Oh, got it - thanks for the clarification.

But the BoT does have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of the university, right? Seems like they would have power to veto actions they believe would be detrimental.

I'm early in my career, managed to save $30K to invest, and want to get my hands dirty with a rental property without too much risk (e.g. no HML/flipping). It sounds like that's a tall order in the NY/CT area given the prices, not to mention whether I'd be able to get a mortgage on anything below $100K, but I figure I'll give it a shot anyway. Any advice on what you might do in my position? Am I being crazy with this idea?
