Academic Freedom

This book, by leading education reformer Elmer Ellsworth Brown, makes a compelling case for the importance of academic freedom in American universities. Brown argues that academic freedom is essential to the pursuit of truth and the advancement of knowledge, and that efforts to suppress or restrict academic inquiry are deeply misguided. This book provides a concise and persuasive defense of a fundamental principle that is more important than ever in our rapidly changing world.
