Ken Starr's Prop 8 support raises question on academic freedom

03/18/09 The Malibu Times:

"More than one hundred Pepperdine University School of Law alumni say their educations have been devalued by former White House prosecutor Kenneth Starr's simultaneous positions as dean of the university's School of Law and as lead attorney for Proposition 8, the November ballot measure voters passed banning same-sex marriage that is being challenged in court. The alumni have called for the university to issue a written statement distancing itself from Starr's affiliation with the measure."
