A Quick Response about St. Thomas and Abp. Tutu

In response to Michael's post about the decision at St. Thomas to nix an invitation to Archbishop Tutu:  All of us MOJers here at St. Thomas have just learned of the decision (although it apparently happened in the spring), and I can say with confidence that we (and many others on our law faculty) think it was very mistaken.  Nothing we've learned in investigation today has led us to think otherwise.  We will certainly be making efforts to express those criticisms, in public where appropriate,  or in private to a university administration that we respect and whose judgment on many other issues has been sound.
