LOUIS Mike Adams is a    tenured associate professor of criminology at the University of    North Carolina-Wilmington. He is also a regular contributor to    TownHall.com, and the author    of such august tomes as Feminists Say the Darndest Things:    A Politically Incorrect Professor Confronts Womyn on    Campus and Welcome to the Ivory Tower of Babel.    He seems to me, in his public writings and attitudes, to be a    virulently right-wing jerk.  <\/p>\n<p>    Mike Adams is also extraordinarily    popular among students, and he has many peer-reviewed scholarly    publications. Nonetheless, Adams application for promotion to    full professor in 2006 was allegedly denied on the basis of his    public engagement. Despite my distaste for Adams dumb ideas    about feminism, diversity and homosexuality, Im glad that    Adams sued the university, and am delighted that last month he    won, in an important ruling that (for now) preserves a vestige    of academic freedom in this country.  <\/p>\n<p>        An        online service is needed to view this article in its        entirety.
