Academic Freedom in Classroom Speech: A Heuristic Model for U.S. Catholic Higher Education
Jacobs, Richard M.
Journal of Catholic Higher Education, v29 n2 p173-193 Sum 2010
As the nation's Catholic universities and colleges continually clarify their identity, this article examines academic freedom in classroom speech, offering a heuristic model for use as board members, academic administrators, and faculty leaders discuss, evaluate, and judge allegations of misconduct in classroom speech. Focusing upon the practice of academic freedom in classroom speech, this article aims to map this contested terrain for board members, academic administrators, and faculty leaders in U.S. Catholic higher education. More substantively, this article identifies what forms of classroom speech are allowed and disallowed, and why this is so.
