MORE TO COME.... MUCH MORE TO COME.....
"I have been told what I can and cannot say
in class; what I can and cannot say when I give interviews to the press; and
what I can and cannot say when I send emails to my students. I have had my
faculty web site shut down, my research funding cancelled, and my pay docked for publishing views on film education that university
administrators disagreed with. I have been screamed at, called
names, and been the subject of almost a decade of vicious personal
attacks when I have expressed opinions that my
program Director, Chairman, or Dean have disagreed with. Welcome to
Boston
University!"

“Our Nation is deeply committed to safeguarding academic freedom, which is of transcendent value to all of us and not merely to the teachers concerned. That freedom is therefore a special concern of the First Amendment, which does not tolerate laws that cast a pall of orthodoxy over the classroom.”—The U.S. Supreme Court in Keyishian v. Board of Regents, 385 U.S. 589 (1967)
MORE TO COME! MUCH MORE TO COME!

Academic freedom is the
indispensable quality of institutions of higher education. As the American
Association of University Professors core policy statement argues, "institutions
of higher education are conducted for the common good and not to further the
interest of either the individual teacher or the institution as a whole. The
common good depends upon the free search for truth and its free exposition."
—The American Association of University
Professors
