Levin maintained Yale's position defending the censorship of images of Mohammed in a book about those images, citing a "risk to life and safety." However, President Levin also acknowledged Yale's commitment to the strong protection of free speech in its classic Woodward Report, stating that "it is not the role of the Dean or any other University official to suppress the speech of any student or student organization" and expressing "regret" for Dean Mary Miller's role in the withdrawal of the Freshman Class Council's T-shirt design calling Harvard students "sissies."
