PUC's Chancellor Keon is Forced to Recognize Free Speech

My readers were earlier informed, on this blog, that Purdue University was investigating this blog for its infingement on the freedom of speech of University faculty.   The claim was that this blog was the main culprit in denying the rights of the faculty:

Blog: Chancellor Colludes with Faculty to "get" Eisenstein

The charges were that I violated Purdue University's rules by pulishing what they provided to me under my FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request.  I should point out that by law in the State of Indiana the University has to provide them to me, or anyone else, the information.  They in turn have every legal right to make the information public. 

As absurd as it may seem, Purdue University convened a full investigation of me, again.  This has done more than anything to stiffle and chill free speech on Purdue's campus.  It is now non- existent, except for myself.  The big help came from FIRE (The Foundation for Individual Freedom in Education.)  You can see their many documents about my case for free speech at the following:

 Findings by Purdue University Calumet Chancellor Thomas L. Keon, June 8, 2012 - The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education - FIRE.

Remember, the sole goal of Purdue University's Chancellor Keon is to chill free-speech when it is not in conformity with his views of what is proper.  I know that is an oxymoronic statement; but, that is how free speech actions, during his academic career, have continued to reflect.

Chancellor Keon and the Board of Trustees Have Approved the End of Free Speech

At Purdue University, it is Chancellor Keon with the approval of President Cordova and the Board of Trustees who are attacking and demeaning the Constitutional First Amendment.  If you are disgusted by these activities, and those described in my last blog entry, then contact State Representative Sheila Klinker at 1-800-382-9842.   She is the State Reperesentative who "carries the water" for Purdue University. 

She not only represents the University and their interests, she is also employed by the University.  She is the important person that makes all of this happen.  She can also challenge the abuse of the Administration of Purdue University of the First Amendment.

Here is her letter to me: Dr. eisenstein, FIRE and 1st amend from Rep. Klinker

That was her only communication -- she was ready to investigate.  The result of her inquiry seems to have been an increased attack on my free speech.

Eisenstein Blog Under University Investigation

This is to inform my readers that Purdue University has decided to institute a formal investigation of this blog.   Under the confidentiality requirements which this state university operates, I cannot reveal any of the details.  But I do have an obligation to inform my readers when what they are reading is being investigated by the State of Indiana, or any other governmental body.

For those of you in Indiana, and pay taxes, now you know where your money, at least in part, is being utilized.   I have said from the begining that the attempt here, the goal here, is to close any dissent on my part.  This dissent has been political, religious, and fiscal.   I have presented conservative arguments, argued for the religious perspective, and have frequently battled with the University power structure about their misuse of State funds.

I am hoping for the best outcome.  If you Purdue's violating the First Amendment offends you, call Rep. Sheila Klinker at 1-800-382-9842
