Description: The issues Reichman considers--which are the subjects of daily conversation on college and university campuses nationwide as well as in the media--will fascinate general readers, students, and scholars alike.
Brief description: Henry Reichman is professor emeritus of history at California State University, East Bay. The author of The Future of Academic Freedom--which won the Eli M. Oboler Memorial Award from the American Library Association--and Censorship and Selection: Issues and Answers for Schools, he chaired the American Association of University Professors' Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure from 2012 to 2021.
Review Quotes: . . . first and foremost, this is about professors--their rights and limits both in and out of the classroom. Should they be able to toss out new, sometimes controversial ideas to help students think in different ways? Are they allowed to say and do what they want on their own time? Reichman's experience as both a professor and an AAUP officer and chair of one of its committees give weight to his arguments.
