A test case for free speech: Australian academic dismissed for opposing falling university standards

This article raises questions about the censorship of free speech as a result of the dismissal of a tenured university lecturer as a result of him speaking to the media about falling academic standards.

The case is being appealed and may take 12 months to resolve.
