They may be only marginally aware that the defense of academic freedom is endangered by certain confusions concerning the nature of academic freedom, the criteria for its violation, and the structure of an adequate justification for claims to it. These confusions were enshrined in some of the central documents on the subject, including the 1940 Statement on Academic Freedom and Tenure, agreed upon by the American Association of University Professors and the Association of American Colleges and endorsed by many professional organizations. Careful analysis of them will not do away with debate; it will bring the debate into focus, so that attacks on academic freedom can be appraised as near or far away from the center of the target and can then be appropriately answered. Nearly all the contemporary writing on academic freedom consists of attack or defense. The Concept of Academic Freedom is the first book to deal exclusively with fundamental conceptual issues underlying the battle. In the discussion of these issues, certain philosophical positions crystallize: radical versus liberal conceptions of the status and function of university teachers, specific versus general theories of academic freedom, consequential versus nonconsequential theories of justification. Partisans (and enemies) of academic freedom would do well to decide on which side of these divisions they stand, or how they would mediate between sides. Otherwise many questions will remain unclear: What is under discussion-a special right peculiar to academics or a general right that is especially important to academics? Is justification of that right possible? Can the right be derived from other rights, or from the theory of justice or of democratic society? Or is the argument for academic freedom one that more properly turns on the consequences for society as a whole if that freedom is not protected? The essays in this book explore these and other problems concerning the defense of academic freedom by radicals, the justification for disruption on campus, and the control of research. Contributors to the volume include Hugo Adam Bedau, Bertram H. Davis, Milton Fisk, Graham Hughes, Alan Pasch, Hardy E. Jones, Alexander Ritchie, Amelie Oksenberg Rorty, Rolf Sartorius, T. M. Scanlon, Richard Schmitt, John R. Searle, Judith Jarvis Thomson, and William Van Alstyne. All are outstanding in their fields. Many have had practical experience in the legal profession or with the American Association of University Professors on the issue of academic freedom.","PeriodicalId":87494,"journal":{"name":"AAUP bulletin : quarterly publication of the American Association of University Professors","volume":"63 1","pages":"323"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/40225056","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69762594","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The one most often discussed is \"tenuring in,\" whereby one department after another quickly becomes frozen in with its present faculty. The perils are particularly grave for those institutions born in the sixties, which recruited a young faculty from the pool of fresh Ph.D.'s simultaneously produced in our graduate schools. But the problem of institutional ossification is compounded by an additional response to slow growth or retrenchment. The stagnation of enrollments in an institution usually signifies retrenchment for some departments, and continued expansion for others. Institutions then face the dismal situation of internecine struggles over faculty-line reallocations, a problem which further aggravates and compounds the dilemma posed by \"tenuring in.\" Everyone keeps a close watch over the barometer of the student-to-faculty ratio, and professors have to increase their offerings of large courses while temporarily abandoning their more specialized or innovative ones, or dropping them altogether. In a recent issue of this Bulletin, John B. Haney, under the guise of a piece of dark humor, has opened up a vista on what professors can expect to happen to them in the future when their universities are completely \"tenured in.\"1 What is offered here is a suggestion which could make virtue out of necessity by favoring institutional and departmental flexibility and rehabilitating interdisciplinary studies and curricular experiments in an environment that is inimical to them. In almost every area of scholarship, the great achievement of American universities in the 1960's was the development of interdisciplinary studies. This was the area of the frontiers of research, where revolutionary ideas have been germinated by cross-fertilization, where Nobel prizes were won, and where American university research took the lead over the much more compartmentalized research work carried on in older European universities. In many cases the teaching of interdisciplinary subjects has been made possible by tenuous interdepartmental agreements. These agreements over the sharing of professors, students, and courses in interdepartmental and cross-disciplinary ventures are now being jeopardized, in a period of retrenchment, by the normal practice of departmental accounting of student-to-faculty ratios. When departments' overall enrollments do not look good, they begin to reconsider such pre-existing arrangements, and they become resistant to the development of new ones, because the student-to-faculty ratio becomes the only ar-","PeriodicalId":87494,"journal":{"name":"AAUP bulletin : quarterly publication of the American Association of University Professors","volume":"21 1","pages":"303"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1977-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/40225048","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69761985","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
