    If Yoo's university had hired a professor from South America it later learned was the architect - not a perpetrator - of repressive policies that included torture in his home country, would the U's response be different than it is towards Yoo? A real question for me. I don't know the answer; wouldn't hazard a guess. Anyone familiar with university politics willing to offer an informed opinion? Thanks
