450: Academic Freedom vs. Academic...Justice?

Okay, define "justice."

While doing some research for an upcoming show, I came across an op-ed in The Harvard Crimson - written by a gender studies major - called "The Doctrine of Academic Freedom: Let’s give up on academic freedom in favor of justice."

Then all hell breaks loose.
