How later courts describe this case
- fact that faculty criticism of university’s retrenchment policy fell within scope of first amendment protections was “too evident to require any discussion”
- “When disposition of a federal question requires reference to state law, federal courts are not bound by the forum state’s choice of law rules, but are free to apply the law considered relevant to the pending controversy.”
