I am the author of this piece and would would like to clarify the sentence, "According to the association’s former president, Cary Nelson, academic freedom is the right to pursue knowledge without censorship; it’s not a right to publish in subscription journals." Cary Nelson is the author of the guide on the meaning of "academic freedom" which shows that it is about the freedom from censorship. I am adding my own thought, "it's not a right to publish in subscription journals." Some people are reading this entire sentence as a quote from Cary Nelson. It is not. I regret my wording of this sentence. -- Lenny Teytelman
