Making No Sense of Academic Freedom: "Parate v. Isibor".

Sacken, Donal M.

West's Education Law Reporter, v56 n4 p1107-15 Jan 4 1990

Academic freedom is invoked as both an individual freedom and an institutional bulwark. "Parate v. Isibor," recently decided by the Sixth Circuit, illustrates many of the problems that the concept causes litigants and courts. The unfortunate compromise resolution trivializes the principles ostensibly protected by academic freedom. (MLF)
