I don't see davem ever doing anything of that sort.  I've no information
about what has really happened, but "Uni lawyers and/or HR telling them
to stop making anything that might be considered public statements" sounds
much more plausible...

Again, it's only a speculation and it might very well have been something
else, but out of those two variants... I'd put high odds on the latter vs
the former.
