  When no one would commit to paying the anticipated legal bills, the journal that published Weiner â€" also unable to pay for a defense â€" removed from its electronic archive the reference that led to the threatened lawsuit.While the University of Oregon's lawyer had urged her to have the journal do just that as a way of avoiding a suit, Weiner opposed this action as giving in to a threat and denying her the right to publish her work in full.
  
  She said that the incident has hurt her ability to do her work on domestic violence and raises issues for any scholar who may publish on works that might lead someone to want to sue them.
  
  "Any time any alleged batterer wants to threaten suit, I'm going to have to defend myself, no matter how unmeritorious the suit is," Weiner said.
  ...
  Rodney A. Smolla, dean of the law school at the University of Richmond, reviewed all the materials and provided an analysis that Weiner had a strong defense.
  ...
  Roger Bowen, general secretary of the American Association of University Professors, said that under his group's policies, the university should have backed Weiner.
