Gordon Fulks sends this summary of the situation and asks that it be distributed. I'm happy to oblige. For some background on Dr. Drapela's skeptical views, this slideshow "Global Warming Cracked Open" might give some insight into OSU's booting him out. - Anthony

From Gordon Fulks:
Hello Everyone,
In theory at least Oregon State University (OSU) seems to be a bastion of academic freedom, diversity, and tolerance.
The following post on Wattsupwiththat is more than a little striking. I am redistributing as it should be of interest to anyone who is concernded about academic freedom to air contrary views.
This is like the creationist scientists who were complaining about being fired for their anti-scientific views.
Face it: If you are not doing your job, you should be fired.
