This book commemorates and sets in current context the famous statement defending academic freedom issued by the University's Board of Regents in 1894. Thirty contributors -- faculty, students, alumni, university officials, and citizens -- examine the origins of the statement and its meaning today, including issues of free speech, hate speech codes, due process, and intellectual property rights. |
