He feels that: "to dedicate oneself to the defense of academic freedom then when you find yourself in a position to do so is perhaps the most important thing an educator can do. Therefore I am not going to run for a seat in the United States Senate." He also touches upon the subject of political activism and the Black Studies Department.
