Here's more on the Academy of Art College's ridiculous censorship campaign (which has so far resulted in the dismissal of an instructor for teaching a David Foster Wallace story, and the physical barring of Lemony Snicket from entering the school to give a talk).
The dim-bulb administrators of this "school" received a note of disapproval from Salman Rushdie, the current head of the PEN American Center, and dismissed it, because they'd never heard of Rushdie or his work.
