  • Description: Academic Freedom Around the World THEY'RE ABOLISHING TENURE IN GREAT BRITAIN, SCRAPPING THE humanities in China, and shooting professors in Algeria. When AAUP president Jim Richardson, fresh from a UNESCO meeting in Paris last fall, suggested that Academe look into the state of academic freedom around the world, the project seemed interesting, though hardly earthshaking. Traditional assaults on academic freedom continue, of course. Because universities house critical thinkers and unconventional ideas, they are invariably targeted for political repression.
