Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores a controversial and timely topic in higher education: academic freedom. The author examines the issue through the lens of a specific case: the dismissal of an economics professor, Scott Nearing, from the University of Pennsylvania in 1915. The book provides a detailed account of the events leading up to Nearing's dismissal, including the protests and debates that ensued. It also examines the broader historical and legal context of academic freedom in the United States, and discusses the challenges and threats to academic freedom that have arisen in recent years. The author argues that the dismissal of Nearing was a violation of academic freedom and that it represents a broader trend toward the suppression of dissent in higher education. The author also provides a thoughtful and nuanced analysis of the complex issues surrounding academic freedom, acknowledging that it is not an absolute right and that it must be balanced against other important values, such as the need to maintain order and civility on campus. Overall, this book is a valuable and thought-provoking contribution to the literature on academic freedom. It provides a timely and insightful examination of a complex and controversial issue, and it offers a thoughtful and nuanced analysis of the challenges and threats to academic freedom in higher education today.
