Indiana has prohibited spending state research funds for studying sexuality and sexual behavior. The Kinsey Institute and its extensive collections are now threatened. The university trustees are about to vote on some way to react to this and have refused to tell the institute's staff what the plan is.

Indiana Republicans' next planned attack on academic freedom is to undermine the system of tenure for professors, which is supposed to protect academic freedom. Once undermined it will no longer achieve that purpose.

I have to point out that universities have already, with no compulsion at all, eliminated tenure for a large fraction of their professors: they are "adjunct" professors, hired term by term, who can be "junct" after any term without giving reasons. One of my friends was junct by Harvard University in this way.
