TABLE OF CONTENTS rofessors, particularly those with tenure, might assume they can express themselves, within reason, without being censored by their institutions. Students suppose they have a similar freedom. But unguarded speech on social media Pand on campus can lead to all kinds of grief, including the loss of a tenured position. The articles in this collection show how the various constituencies on campuses sort out their conflicting values over self-expression. My Title IX Inquisition 4 After an essay led to complaints against her, a professor felt as if she was thrown into a kangaroo court. Melissa Click, U. of Missouri Professor Who Riled Free-Speech Advocates, Is Fired 10 State lawmakers vilified the professor who tried to prevent a journalist from getting near protesters. College Wrestles With Controversy Over Its Response to Professor’s Religious Views 12 A dispute that started with a Facebook post risked ending in a professor’s dismissal. Why I Was Fired 16 Steven Salaita’s firing made him a “free-speech darling” — or a symbol of incivility. At Yale, Painful Rifts Emerge Over Diversity and Free Speech 21 A series of controversies has led to angry accusations that the university has not done enough to stem racism. When Free Speech Becomes a Political Weapon 25 The notion of freedom of speech is being used to silence those who are oppressed and marginalized. In a Time of Tension, Universities Craft New Free-Speech Policies 28 Institutions are seeking the right balance between allowing self-expression and keeping public order. What Students Think About Free Speech 31 Being taught from a young age not to bully may make this generation more tolerant of censorship. Free Expression in Peril 34 Student and faculty speech is sometimes ugly and offensive. But we must protect it. All of it. The Free-Speech Fallacy 39 Condemning a position in advance of a campus speech inhibits open debate. Russia, Land of Free Speech 41 In a land of state censorship, intellectuals prize unfettered speech. That is less the case in America.

The list of academic institutions rocked in recent months by (sometimes violent) speech-squelching protests is not pretty.

  • Political Discourse on Today's College Campus
    Political Science 185: Political Discourse on Today’s College Campus Professors Boatright and Williams Selected Tuesdays, 3:00-5:00 JEF 400 Course Description As has become clear over the past year, many Americans regard college campuses with deep distrust. American colleges and universities are sometimes seen as bastions of liberal thought, places where students and faculty rarely take the time to seriously engage with the centrist and conservative ideas that hold sway in Washington, DC today. Clark, like many schools, prides itself on being different from the rest of society. In today’s polarized political climate, however, it is important that we think about some of the controversies on college campuses today and how they are perceived by those outside the academy. In cases where these perceptions are not fair, we should try to defend, in a civil fashion, the things that take place at Clark. In cases where critics have a point, we should think carefully about what we might do to welcome different points of view. The goal of this class is to help you understand how others see our community and how we can think objectively about the political choices our community has made about how we discuss controversial issues. Topics considered include speech policies, the political views of faculty and students, the ways in which colleges prepare students for civic engagement, and the role of media and outside funding in campus activities. This is a Problems of Practice (POP) course. Per the Clark University webpage, “Problems of Practice (POP) courses are internship-like experiences that take place within an academic context.

  • Gaddis Smith Yale and the Vietnam
    Yale and the Vietnam War Page 1 of 21 Presented at the 2nd Meeting of the 1999-2000 Year October 19,1999 Gaddis Smith Yale and the Vietnam War A DRAFT NOT TO BE QUOTED OR CITED WITHOUT THE AUTHOR'S PERMISSION In 1919 President Arthur Twining Hadley said that the men of Yale who had died in the Great War were the fortunate ones, for they had fulfilled the ultimate purpose of the University in service to the nation. A generation later, on the eve of the entry of the United States into World War II, faculty, students, and alumni were as divided on the issue of isolation or intervention as were the American people and Congress. But President Charles Seymour took sides on behalf of the University. He deplored student isolationism and committed Yale to support all measures necessary to defeat Nazi Germany. There was no place in his mind for personal or institutional neutrality. Pearl Harbor, of course, ended all debate. Yale became a military camp until 1945. The Korean War was relatively brief and had less impact than the Yale administration feared, but once again hardly anyone suggested institutional neutrality in that conflict or more broadly in the Cold War. In 1951 President A. Whitney Griswold defended liberal education as essential preparation for lieutenants who knew why they were fighting.1 Until the mid-1960s the Cold War consensus reigned in the classroom, the research and writing of faculty concerned with international relations, and in the minds of almost everyone connected with Yale. This was the university of Henry L Stimson's commitment to "active duty in peace and war", of Secretary of State Dean Acheson who was "present at the creation" of American world power, and of the pioneer geopolitical "realist" Professor Nicholas Spykman.

    A Survey of Core Requirements at Our at Our Requirements of Core A Survey and Universities Colleges Nation’s WHAT will they LEARN ? 2017–18 © American Council of Trustees and Alumni 2017. All rights reserved. A Survey of Core Requirements at Our Nation’s Colleges and Universities American Council of Trustees and Alumni FOREWORD It would be hard to imagine a time when ignorance could be more dangerous. Misinformation can travel across the nation in nanoseconds. Our only defense rests on our capacity to educate citizens to make discerning, thoughtful judgments. That ability comes from the practice of reading closely and analytically and parsing arguments, using the tools of logic and reason that for generations the study of the liberal arts has fostered. It is not accidental that the very term “liberal arts” derives from the recognition that they represent the education suited for a free people. A great nation has an informed citizenry that is ready for the complex political choices that confront us. A great nation also needs a citizenry with the intellectual preparation to prevail in the relentless competition of global markets. And higher education needs a reset to meet both of these urgent needs. Too many colleges fail to provide students with the skills they need to succeed in the workforce. With technology rapidly advancing, some careers will disappear, some will expand globally. However, the ability to synthesize information, recognize past precedents, understand human behavior, and communicate effectively will prove invaluable as the job market continues to adapt to the demands of the new century. Companies from Silicon Valley to Wall Street need college graduates who are prepared not only for technical tasks, but also for high-level critical thinking and written communication.

Scott identifies as a practising Buddhist with a strong interest in Catholic theology and his poetry explores key ideas associated with both systems of belief. I argue that Scott formally employs the number three in diverse ways within the trilogy and that this formula (as in the poetic tercet form) constructs a poesis that is structured on the ruins of a type of Dantean Hell.

  • The Inquiry and the Paris Peace Conference: American Preparations for Peace and the Future of Hungary, 1917-1920
    Tibor Glant* THE INQUIRY AND THE PARIS PEACE CONFERENCE: AMERICAN PREPARATIONS FOR PEACE AND THE FUTURE OF HUNGARY, 1917-1920 1 Introduction At the outbreak of the First World War no one thought that four years later the Central Powers would ask for a ceasefi re upon the peace plans of the US President announced publicly, and that Wilson would emerge as a key fi gure in international politics by 1919. America’s entry into the war and later the 14 Points that reached mythical signifi cance owing to US government propaganda gave new hope for the peoples of Europe suffering from the war. The key element of Wilsons’ rhetoric was the doctrine of the “war to end all wars”, the “national self-determination”, and a “just” and “scientifi c peace”. This “science for peace” was designed to ensure the fairness of the “new world order” promised by Wilson. Wilson instructed a committee comprised of mostly American east coast experts, the Inquiry, to map out this “scientifi c peace”. The members of the committee were not only active in the preparation for peace but took part in the peace-making process in Paris as well. They served in the Territorial, Economic, and Political Intelligence Unit of the American Commission to Negotiate the Peace (hereafter ACNP), as well as in territorial committees and as members of the various diplomatic and relief American missions stationed to the Danube Basin. The Inquiry was a typical Wilsonian institution. While French, British, Italian, and Japanese (and later Hungarian) preparations for peace primarily were carried out by foreign affairs experts, the American work was supervised by the President’s unoffi cial chief * Associate professor – University of Debrecen, North American Department, [email protected].

  • Education As a Public Resource for Addressing American Political Polarization
    Education as a Public Resource for Addressing American Political Polarization Preston Stovall Post-doctoral Researcher University of Hradec Králové (Czech Republic) Part 1: Speaking to the Middle I An educated populace is crucial for a well-functioning democracy, and in the U.S. the use of pamphlets, periodicals, opinion pieces, and public letters, stretching back before the revolution, testifies to the importance that Americans place on an educated public. The use of these devices has helped keep American citizens apprised of the problems we face, and in the early Republic especially it was an important method of consensus-building. This interest found kindred expression in a general concern with education in the United States and the colonies, one that many of the founders shared: Benjamin Franklin was instrumental in the creation of what would become the University of Pennsylvania, Benjamin Rush founded both Dickinson college and what would become Franklin and Marshall College (‘Franklin’ named after Benjamin), and Thomas Jefferson worked to establish a system of schools in Virginia, from the local level up to the University of Virginia, with the aim of selecting the brightest pupils for further instruction at each stage. These projects were animated by a sense of education as something like a public resource for the American people. As a public resource education offers individual citizens not only a path to gainful employment but also the possibility of improving our lives by developing the habits of thought and conscience that accrue through a period of prolonged engagement with the thoughts and deeds of those who came before us.
