I'm not a particularly fancy man, but I've been in academia a long time, and I don't recall "don't ever discuss material that's extraneous to the class" ever having been mentioned as a "core tenet" of academic freedom.

Happy MLK Day.

We remember Elizabeth Corbet Yeats (1868-1940) who died #onthisday in 1940. Alongside running the Cuala press with her Sister Susan, she designed many prints for the press, including this one, with text by Stephen Gwynn 🎨 You can see more of her designs on digital collections doi.org/10.48495/wh247
