SAINT LOUIS UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW A CONTRACT THEORY OF ACADEMIC FREEDOM1 PHILIP LEE* INTRODUCTION Academic freedom is central to the core role of professors in a free society. Yet, current First Amendment protections exist to protect academic institutions, not the academics themselves. For example, in Urofsky v. Gilmore, six professors employed by various public colleges and universities in Virginia challenged a law restricting state employees from accessing sexually explicit material on computers owned or leased by the state.2 The professors claimed, in part, that such a restriction was in violation of their First Amendment academic freedom rights to conduct scholarly research.3 The Fourth Circuit upheld the law and noted that “to the extent the Constitution recognizes any right of ‘academic freedom’ above and beyond the First Amendment rights to which every citizen is entitled, the right inheres in the University, not in individual professors, and is not violated by the terms of the Act.”4 In other words, this particular court held that academic freedom protects the institution as a whole, but not the individual professors.

CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 43 DECEMBER 2010 NUMBER 2 Article Burning Crosses on Campus: University Hate Speech Codes ALEXANDER TSESIS Debates about the value and constitutionality of hate speech regulations on college campuses have deeply divided academics for over a decade. The Supreme Court's recent decision in Virginia v. Black, recognizing a state's power to criminalize intentionally intimidating cross burning at long last provides the key to resolving this heated dispute. The opponents of hate speech codes argue that such regulation guts our concept offree speech. One prominent scholar claims that this censorship would nullify the First Amendment and have "totalitarian implications." Another constitutional expert, Erwin Chemerinsky, asserts that the "public university simply cannot prohibit the expression of hate, including antisemitism, without running afoul of [establishedFirst Amendment principles]." On the other end of the spectrum are authors who argue that hate speech attacks individuals' Fourteenth Amendment right to equality, which outweighs any cathartic desire to degrade people because of their race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and religion.

  • The Sydney Intellectual/ Religious Scene, 1916–2016
    The Sydney intellectual/ religious scene, 1916–2016 James Franklin Strictly speaking, there is no intellectual/religious “scene” in Sydney, in the sense that there is, say, a folk music scene. A “scene” has groups which know one another and an audience that cycles through them. But with religion it is much more a matter of individual denominational silos with little interaction in the sphere of ideas and debate. There is no regular gathering in theology or religion that fulfils the role in the philosophy world of the annual Australasian Philosophy Conference. The century-old, interdenominational Heretics Club at Sydney University,1 which this journal issue celebrates, is a rare exception. But a dozen people meeting almost under cover of darkness do not constitute a “scene”. Nor has Sydney had any high-profile religious figure in its public life comparable to Archbishop Mannix in Melbourne. Hilary Carey wrote in the Dictionary of Sydney, “Religion has not been a notably creative force in Sydney’s cultural life and the city is conspicuously lacking in prophets or founders of new religions.”2 That has contributed to a poor penetration of local intellectual life by religious views. Furthermore, Sydney, unlike Melbourne, has a reputation of being anti- intellectual in religion, with Catholic life being shaped by the long reigns of the unintellectual Archbishops Kelly and Gilroy,3 Sydney evangelicals suspecting the fallenness of human reason, and Presbyterians hunting heretics. Archbishop Kelly was more concerned with the evils of mixed bathing, his Anglican counterpart Archbishop Wright with the opening of the Royal Easter Show on Good Friday.

  • The Catholic Church in Australia Is Today Commemorating The
    AUSTRALIAN CATHOLIC BISHOPS CONFERENCE Media Release 1 March 2010 Pioneer Australian Catholic woman, Rosemary Goldie dies at 94 The Catholic Church in Australia is today commemorating the extraordinary life and achievements of one of its unsung heroines, Rosemary Goldie, the first woman ever to hold an official post of authority in the Roman Curia. Rosemary, who took on a special place in Church history with her appointment in 1966 as Under-Secretary of the Council for the Laity, died at the Little Sisters of the Poor, Randwick on Saturday evening 27 February at 94. Once described as “the Roman Curia’s human microchip memory on the development of the lay apostolate”, Rosemary was also one of the few women appointed as an auditor to the Second Vatican Council. One of four children of Sydney journalists, Goldie was raised by her maternal grandmother and graduated from Sydney University in 1936. For the next two years she continued her studies at the Sorbonne in Paris. At Easter 1938 she made her first trip to Rome. Returning some years later Rosemary was invited to join the Permanent Committee for International Congresses of the Lay Apostolate set up in Rome by Pius XII in 1952. In 1959 she became Executive Secretary of the Committee. This body was the nucleus of the Council for the Laity, created by Paul VI as a result of Vatican II. In 1966, Goldie, dramatically, was appointed Under-Secretary of the Council. Rosemary was one of the small group of women - lay and religious - appointed as auditors for the last two periods of Vatican II (1964 and 1965).

JOHN'S LAW REVIEW VOLUME 67 WINTER 1993 NUMBER 1 ARTICLES THE REGULATION OF HATE SPEECH BY ACADEME vs. THE IDEA OF A UNIVERSITY: A CLASSIC OXYMORON?* JOSEPH W. BELLACOSA** Legend has it that Willie Sutton, when asked why he robbed banks, answered, "Because that's where the money is!" One hopes that when people are asked, "Why do you go to college?", their response might be: "Because that's where the education is." Such an answer reflects the traditional idea of a university, embodying the seemingly self-evident proposition that it is the universe in which ideas are freely discussed and shared. However, clouds of doubt concerning this traditional idea have cast some shadows across the landscape of academe in the form of a recent phenome- non-the regulation of hate speech. By hate speech I refer here to the distribution and utterance on college campuses of bigoted, ra- cist, sexist, religious and similar shibboleths. The perceived threat of hate speech has propelled institutions of higher learning towards * This essay is adapted from a speech delivered by Hon.
