Poison in the Halls of Ivy.
Zirkel, Perry A.
Phi Delta Kappan, v78 n6 p478-79 Feb 1997
Discusses a California case involving a tenured professor's controversial teaching style, which focused on "obscene" topics and assignments that allegedly humiliated female students. The professor eventually prevailed in a Ninth Circuit appeal. The lesson: when attempting to eradicate sexual harassment, we cannot abandon important First Amendment rights, including academic freedom on college and university campuses. (MLH)
