After much to-ing and fro-ing Erwin Chemerinsky has finally been confirmed as the dean of UC Irvine's new law school. Professor Chermerinsky was originally offered the job but the offer was retracted after serious political pressure from conservatives and right wingers who did not want to see him get the job; ostensibly for his dangerous left wing beliefs. Ultimately UC Irvine decided to stand forthrightly against this extremist political pressure and hire Professor Chermerinsky anyway.
No doubt David Horowitz is overjoyed at this victory for his campaign for an academic environment free of political litmus tests. Or perhaps not.
