Professors Speak Out

Professors Speak Out showcases the powerful stories of eighteen university professors from various fields and backgrounds, all of whom have been investigated by their academic institutions. These shocking narratives reflect the rising frequency and increasing absurdity of campus investigations, which often result from the expression of disfavored opinions that should be protected by inalienable free speech rights and longstanding principles of academic freedom. As the reader will learn, the investigation itself is often the punishment, though the process can inflict serious additional sanctions. Some contributors lost their jobs, while others have faced a variety of other unwarranted consequences. By providing a badly needed platform for persecuted voices in contemporary academia, this unique volume exposes the grave injustice that menaces faculty members today and calls into serious question the reprehensible bureaucratic processes that allow for such investigations. Taken together, the eighteen contributors show how a new campus McCarthyism is brutally assaulting academic freedom.
