From Academe Online, November - December 2007 issue

Not a free press issue but certainly a free speech matter.

The University of Hawaii at Manoa this summer reached a settlement with professor Michael D’Andrea, a tenured professor in the Department of Counselor Education, who sued the university after he had been banned from campus last March and forbidden to speak to faculty members, staff, and current or former students in the College of Education. D’Andrea was banned by a former interim chancellor who placed him under suspension for having allegedly engaged in “intimidating, hostile, and bullying behavior.” But D’Andrea denied such behavior and said he had fallen into disfavor because of numerous grievances he has filed against the administration and because of his vocal opposition to the war in Iraq and to a navy research center on campus.
