  • Joyce Xi to Speak at Stanford on Her Father Prof. Xi’s Arrest

    San Jose, Oct. 18, 2015, — What would you do if your family was awakened at dawn by FBI Agents, some with guns drawn, who entered your home and arrested you without telling you why? In this Post-Patriot Act America, do ordinary citizens have constitutional rights that protect against reckless investigations and prosecutions? What are the civil liberties implications for all Americans if Asian American scientists, engineers and researchers are being subjected to reckless federal criminal investigations for economic espionage because of their ethnicity, national origin or race? What are the academic freedom implications for professors and researchers if routine international collaborations can be monitored by the FBI and misconstrued as criminal activity?

    These are some questions Joyce Xi, daughter of Prof. Xiaoming Xi, will address in a talk at Stanford Law School on Oct. 21.
