The contractual stipulation seems to me to be against public policy. I wonder if anyone has challenged the legal basis?

This semester we were told that we could not include Harvard Business Review articles in our syllabi unless we had the students purchase the articles. We include other articles from journals in our databases, and students download the articles from the library. But now, we are prohibited from this practice with HBR articles. My understanding is that Harvard Business School Publishing's position is that our license for HBR is for research only and not for assignments. So students may read HBR articles from the library if they find them in the course of research, but we may not guide them to the articles via assignments. It's fine if they stumble upon them, but we can't recommend an article. I don't know if I can post a paper with HBR references. My response to this is not to assign any HBR articles, but this seems like a very heavy-handed infringement on academic freedom. Has anyone else experienced this prohibition? I'd be interested in learning about your views, particularly if anyone has some related research into the question. Thanks.
