Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Comprehensive and accessible, this one-stop resource examines the history, development, and present state of free speech on US college campuses, including a range of political perspectives and viewpoints. Explore the concepts of academic freedom, intellectual benefits of open debate, use of speech as a weapon of hate and harassment, and the history of campus social protest. This book also presents a broad survey of the arguments and rhetoric - as well as actual record - of America's two major parties on campus free speech and academic freedom issues. Other focuses of coverage include major laws and commonly employed college and university policies governing free speech and civil liberties for students, faculty, and other employees on campuses and classrooms across the country. This book accomplishes all of the above via a combination of informative resources - tables, primary documents, biographical profiles, illuminating essays, a chronology, and more.
