NPOV = No such thing in an environment of "Academic Freedom", it's
called "accepted standards of Academic Freedom".
If it's a university of content it needs to adhere to these standards --
they've been around for a couple of thousand years and seem
to work governing institutions of higher learning. Should be no
different if what you are creating is an open environment -- Free speech
and all. The one exception to the Wiki MeatBall rules would be this
project -- within the framework of established foundation policies of
fair treatment and code of conduct.
