Dangerous Ideas on Campus - Sex, Conspiracy, and Academic Freedom in the Age of JFK (Hardcover)

In 1960, University of Illinois professor Leo Koch wrote a public
letter condoning premarital sex. He was fired. Four years later, a
professor named Revilo Oliver made white supremacist remarks and
claimed there was a massive communist conspiracy. He kept his job.
Matthew Ehrlich revisits the Koch and Oliver cases to look at free
speech, the legacy of the 1960s, and debates over sex and politics
on campus. The different treatment of the two men marked a
fundamental shift in the understanding of academic freedom. Their
cases also embodied the stark divide over beliefs and values--a
divide that remains today. Ehrlich delves into the issues behind
these academic controversies and places the events in the context
of a time rarely associated with dissent, but in fact a harbinger
of the social and political upheavals to come. An enlightening and
entertaining history, Dangerous Ideas on Campus illuminates how the
university became a battleground for debating America's hot-button
issues.
