Academic Freedom and Religious Conviction at Canada’s Faith-Based Universities and Colleges
From: Academic Freedom in Conflict
$3.20
William Bruneau examines religious conviction within universities, tracing the history of religious universities in Canada. He identifies major arguments made by defenders of religious requirements within universities as well as the counter-arguments of critics. Noting these two very different ways of viewing university teaching, research, service, administration, and outreach, he argues that the value of academic freedom could and should contain them both.
