Support for Jackson and Syracuse flowed from other colleges and universities, too. In one example, Kenneth Mayer, professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin at Madison, said, “Universities should stand up for and defend free speech and academic freedom, and do it publicly. I disagree with Professor Jackson’s views, but — and I can’t state this strongly enough — that is irrelevant to my position that she must have the freedom to state those views without intimidation or reprisal. Syracuse got it right.”
