As a point of information, the issue surrounding the suspension of Ellis at
Leeds Uni is not one of academic freedom of speech - Ellis is a Professor in
the Russian and Slavonic studies department and his research has nothing
whatsoever to do with the arguments on race he is putting forward.
The reason he has been suspended is to do with alleged failure to uphold the
university's equal opps policy and his refusal to state that he would not
discriminate against his students on account of their race.
