Academic Freedom and the Internet.
Heins, Marjorie
Academe, v84 n3 p19-21 May-Jun 1998
A 1998 court decision ruled that a recent Virginia law requiring official approval for state employees to put materials with "sexually explicit content" on the Internet was unconstitutional. However, the extent to which the First Amendment will protect academic freedom in cyberspace in this case and for other issues is not clear. (MSE)
