Welcome to the "Rindos / UWA Case" Site!

This site is an archive of information relating to the demise of the Archaeology Department at the University of Western Australia, the defamation case against Mr. Gil Hardwick of Australia, and, most importantly, about the denial of tenure of Dr David Rindos, once an archaeologists and lecturer at the University.

About one year ago, only part of the way through the whole sorry proceedings, David Rindos passed away. More details are inside.

"Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects . . . As the most participatory form of mass speech yet developed, the Internet deserves the highest protection from government intrusion."
From the Philadelphia decision.
