academic freedom
One college professor says she can't complete her research because of the ban.
They're not widely used by professors or widely demanded by students.
One student is doing research for her dissertation. A state senator says that's illegal.

WHAT'S HAPPENING
An NYU professor believes the school is reluctant to “bite the hand that feeds it.”

Teresa Buchanan says she was fired for cursing in class, LSU says it worse than that.
