The first provision of the Academic Bill of Rights is that no professor should be hired or fired because of his or her political views.

I wanted a family like my parents had, and I wanted to concentrate on my little corner of the world. I wanted someone who wanted to marry a wife and a mother, and someone who would respect my choice.
