Chicago State University Lawyers Attack Faculty Bloggers

Posted by timothy on Tuesday November 12, 2013 @05:01AM from the tenurous-grasp-on-reality dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A blog run by faculty members at Chicago State University (CSU) has been threatened by university lawyers with a cease and desist notice. Since 2009 the blog has posted information critical of CSU's policies and hiring practices. The notice threatened legal action if the site is not disabled by Friday due to violations of 'trade names and marks' without permission and violations of University policies. The blog admin changed the name of the blog in the meanwhile to Crony State University and replaced an image on the page pending legal counsel. Also the blog is currently still active."

No, they used "sarcasm". The deadliest attack of them all.
