So to Speak podcast: Glenn Loury objects
As protests against racial injustice continue across America, colleges and universities are increasingly speaking out in support of the protests. What’s more, some are also taking action to investigate or punish faculty critical of the protesters’ perceived aims.
What does this mean for academic freedom and freedom of speech? And does this signal a shift away from the idea, best exemplified by the University of Chicago’s Kalven Report, that there should be a “heavy presumption against the university taking collective action or expressing opinions on the political and social issues of the day?”
To discuss, we are joined by Glenn Loury, Merton P. Stoltz Professor of the Social Sciences at Brown University, who objected to a letter about the protests sent by Brown’s senior administrators.
Show notes:
- “Letter from Brown’s senior leaders: Confronting racial injustice”
- “I must object” by Glenn C. Loury
- “CU Boulder professor accused of racist, sexist social media posts”
- “Miller ‘70 P’02: Fascism and the open campus”
