On Fresno State’s termination of Lars Maischak

We are concerned by the potential threat to freedom of expression posed by the incident. We have launched an investigation of the matter and are reaching out to Professor Maischak in order to ensure a complete and accurate understanding of the facts and to evaluate potential courses of action.
