Academic Freedom and the Federal Idea

From: Academic Freedom in Conflict

$1.70

David Schneiderman addresses respectful workplace policies that universities and colleges have adopted as the diversification of post-secondary educational institutions has given rise to challenges to traditional academic practices. He notes the serious tension between such policies and academic freedom, which is deemed by many to be irresolvable. He proposes reframing the matter using a version of federalism that recognizes pluralism and autonomy as a means of facilitating diversity.
