Academic freedom is more important and more under threat than ever. Autonomy is the first line of defense, but little understood and poorly guarded. The authors meet this gap with data and case examples that inform and support further research and calls for action. Robert Quinn, Executive Director, Scholars at Risk Network Academic Freedom is a good proxy for democracy, and institutional autonomy a good indicator of academic freedom. By focusing on the decline in institutional autonomy across states, this valuable book fills a critical gap in the literature. Keeping universities free matters not just for students and teachers, but for the wider public and future generations. Nandini Sundar, Delhi University, India
