Table of ContentsIntroduction Chapter 1: The Crisis of Academic Freedom in the Modern University and the Founding of the AAUP Chapter 2: The AAUP’s First Policy Declaration in 1915 and its Early Struggle to Defend Academic Freedom Chapter 3: The AAUP’s Seminal 1940 Statement and Judicially Defined Academic Freedom During the McCarthy Era Chapter 4: Modern Constitutional Conceptions of Academic Freedom Chapter 5: The Limitations of Constitutionally Based Professorial Freedom Chapter 6: Contract Law as an Alternative Foundation for Professorial Freedom ConclusionReviewsPhilip Lee makes a major and welcome contribution to the burgeoning literature on academic freedom through his current and cogent analysis of major court cases. He devotes special and justifiable attention to the singular role of the American Association of University Professors, which providentially observes its centennial this very year. The constitutional evolution of academic freedom which Lee traces through the past century also receives meticulous understanding in the broader context of higher education law and policy. Perhaps most notable is a concluding chapter which uniquely addresses contract (rather than constitutional) law as an alternative basis for protecting free expression on the university campus. -- Robert O'Neil, Professor and President Emeritus, University of Virginia Philip Lee's fascinating book covers more than a century of threats to professors for writing and speaking their minds, and it is a frightening journey, especially when one sees how many of these cases are current and old wine in new skins. Being a critical professor is not for the faint of heart, and it is sobering to see how the protection accorded faculty is shrinking. I have taught many of these cases, but his comprehensive and nuanced treatment has given me fresh eyes and renewed hope. The cases have continued, but Professor Lee is watching carefully. -- Michael A. Olivas, University of Houston In Academic Freedom at American Universities Philip Lee skillfully details how conceptions of academic freedom in higher education have developed over time. Further, he proposes a stronger legal defense of academic freedom, based in contract law. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in legal, historical, and political issues around academic freedom in higher education. -- Natasha Kumar Warikoo, Harvard University Philip Lee makes a major and welcome contribution to the burgeoning literature on academic freedom through his current and cogent analysis of major court cases.
