Academic freedom has been a principle that undergirds the
university since 1915. Beyond this, it also protects a spirit of
free inquiry essential to a democratic society. But in the
post-9/11 present, the basic principles of academic freedom have
been deeply challenged. There have been many startling instances
where the rhetoric of national security and terror, corporate
interests, and privatization have cast a pall over the terrain of
academic freedom. In the post-9/11 university, professors face job
loss or tenure denial for speaking against state power, while their
students pay more tuition and fall deeper in debt. This timely
collection features an impressive assembly of the nation s leading
intellectuals, addressing some of the most urgent issues facing
higher education in the United States today. Spanning a wide array
of disciplinary fields, Academic Freedom in the Post-9/11 Era seeks
to intervene on the economic and political crises that are
compromising the future of our educational institutions.
