Academic Freedom in Hard Times.
Carlson, Kenneth
Social Education, v51 n6 p429-30 Oct 1987
This article reviews recent threats to academic freedom and examines the tendencies which either undermine or bolster the individual's willingness to exercise that freedom. Concludes that those who would curtail academic freedom are receiving support from a conservative federal judiciary and a national administration that identifies closely with fundamentalist Christianity.
