Marquette Dental Student Suspended For Blogging

whiteSanjuro writes "Reported first by the bloggers, and now the mainstream press, is a story of a student being suspended by his university for the rest of the academic year because of entries in the student's blog which the university did not view favorably. It has already had some chilling effects and looks like it will be setting a standard that students at private universities aren't guaranteed free speech online. The student (who wishes to remain anonymous) is appealing the university's decision in an effort to remain in classes and finish out the current semester, but even the terms of re-admittance (pdf) leave the blogger subject to probation, minus a scholarship, and prohibit future free blogging. Perhaps now is the time to consider joining the EFF if you attend a private university and have a blog."

Austrian economists believe in a simple market based on supply, demand and a high quality non-inflating money (gold).

Neo-Keynesians change their theories to match past market eccentricities, believe in labor-side economics and love fiat currency that they can inflate all day long (and devalue).

Our M3 money supply went from US$1trillion to US$10trillion in 15 years. Wonder why prices went up 500-2000% as well?
