UNH Professor Faces Criticism for 9-11 Theories

By Mark Bevis on Tuesday, August 29, 2006.

Governor John Lynch has jumped into the fray to criticize the theories of a University of New Hampshire professor.

Dr. William Woodward is a member of Scholars for 9/11 Truth which holds that the Bush Administration may have been involved in the September 11th terrorist attacks.

And he's discussed those theories in his class.

Governor Lynch has called the assertions "completely crazy and offensive," and he says he plans to discuss his concerns with UNH Trustees.

Earlier this week, Senator Judd Gregg called it inappropriate that someone at a taxpayer funded university would take positions that are an affront to American sensibilities.

Gregg is also quoted as saying that he believes there are limits to academic freedom and freedom of speech.

Dr. Bruce Mallory is the Provost at UNH.

He oversees the curriculum at all the schools and collges at the university....and its academic mission.

He tells NHPR's Mark Bevis that the university has no written rules on what can be said in class.
