Our letter documents the serious threat to academic freedom and free inquiry presented by Attorney General Cuccinelli's action, pointing out the alarming precedent such an investigation sets. In condemning the danger posed to academic freedom by the investigation, FIRE joins the University of Virginia Faculty Senate Executive Council, the American Association of University Professors, the American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia, and The Washington Post, all of whom have criticized the move.
