New York University Professor Michael Rectenwald was suspended two weeks ago for a Twitter account he ran which repudiated political correctness. Legal Insurrection readers know that’s a form of heresy on college campuses today.

He has now been reinstated and with a raise in pay. FOX News reports:

Not at all.  They're buying him off, rather than losing the lawsuit.

And, they'll find another reason to get rid of him down the line.

True enough.  Sorry if the sarcasm didn't come through.  That or they blackmailed him on something and he'll sing the company song from now on.  Recantation is wonderful for the soul, don't you know!
