06/03/2004: "Keep your cotton picking hands off Free Speech"


(Sorry, couldn't help the title.)
Via Marginal Revolution, a petition to support academic freedom.

An Cal-Davis economist, Daniel Sumner, was hired by Brazil to analyze cotton prices. He determined that U.S. agriculture policies harmed world markets. The world trade organization agreed. California cotton growers are upset. California cotton growers are threatening to defund Cal-Davis. Sumner's response:

What is this, the mafia or something? Think of it as a criminal case, and one side says, 'We'll put pressure on this guy not to participate.' That's not right, is it?

No, it's not.
