Reviews

Michael Berube and Jennifer Ruth's 'It's Not Free Speech: Race, Democracy and the Future of Academic Freedom' addresses the question of what academic freedom does and should protect—and what it does not and should not protect. Drawing careful distinctions between free speech and academic freedom, they contend that an 'excessively libertarian' understanding of academic freedom, often confused with an absolutist position on free speech, needs to be rethought and replaced with less traditionally liberal policies....A provocative read, with practical suggestions for how to put faculty back in charge of defending academic freedom as well as preventing its abuses. —Forbes
