Carl, can you comment on what rights an author has if they are working for
a public institution (such as a college or university), such as the case
for most postgraduates undertaking study ?  As the poster is doing their
work _for_ the institution, does that remove some/all of their rights to
it ?

Does the requirement for freedom of speech prohibit the college/institution
from being able to define what it finds as acceptable research material for
both undergraduates and postgraduates ?

(Can anyone in Australia provide relevant answers about our system ?)

I guess what I'm saying is, even though the institution has questionable
ability to conrol what you say, surely they must have some right about
whether or not they wish to be associated with it, even if this means
taking measures such as disapproving of certain areas of research.
