This is a story of national importance. A professor has no right to seize your notes; they are your property, not hers.
Telephone the New York Times. Explain what happened, give them the name of the professor and the college and university. Tell them to keep your identity as their source confidential. Sit back and watch what happens next. I would predict that the professor will be required to return the notes.
