German and English Academic Usage and Academic Translation

Zealotry and Academic Freedom A Legal and Historical Perspective

Zealotry and Academic Freedom A Legal and Historical Perspective

Zealotry and Academic Freedom began with the author's personal experience with suppression of academic speech and obstacles to the pursuit of academic quality. Using his own tumultuous experience as a starting point Hamilton explores how significant efforts to create an autonomous space for academic speech within the university over the past 125 years have been thwarted. Hamilton charges that a fundamentalist academic left in some humanities and social science faculties views the exercise of standards of academic quality and merit-based performance evaluations as tools of oppression and bigotry. Academic zealots ferret out and oppose hidden structures of so-called oppression in our Eurocentric culture. Any faculty member overtly supporting academic quality is thus suspected of bigotry and subject to investigations. The opening portion of the book locates similarities with the religious fundamentalism of the nineteenth century in waves of zealotry in American higher education. The first part covers student activism in the 1960s through the emergence of a radical academic left in the early 1990s. The second part examines the meaning of academic freedom and the protection of expression that should be secured. The third and final portion shows how targets of the coercive tactics of the zealots in any period of zealotry can and have been effectively rebuked and ultimately overcome. Neil Hamilton's book will generate controversy particularly the chapters that inquire into the current wave of academic suppression. Hamilton warns that history instructs that it can happen here. This candid look into the politics of higher education will be gripping reading for all those concerned with the future of education: professors administrators students and parents. There has been a growing literature on this subject but none cover the legal-political aspects of political correctness with such precision. | Zealotry and Academic Freedom A Legal and Historical Perspective

The Academic Revolution

The Academic Revolution

The Academic Revolution describes the rise to power of professional scholars and scientists first in America's leading universities and now in the larger society as well. Without attempting a full-scale history of American higher education it outlines a theory about its development and present status. It is illustrated with firsthand observations of a wide variety of colleges and universities the country over-colleges for the rich and colleges for the upwardly mobile; colleges for vocationally oriented men and colleges for intellectually and socially oriented women; colleges for Catholics and colleges for Protestants; colleges for blacks and colleges for rebellious whites. The authors also look at some of the revolution's consequences. They see it as intensifying conflict between young and old and provoking young people raised in permissive middle-class homes to attacks on the legitimacy of adult authority. In the process the revolution subtly transformed the kinds of work to which talented young people aspire contributing to the decline of entrepreneurship and the rise of professionalism. They conclude that mass higher education for all its advantages has had no measurable effect on the rate of social mobility or the degree of equality in American society. Jencks and Riesman are not nostalgic; their description of the nineteenth-century liberal arts colleges is corrosively critical. They maintain that American students know more than ever before that their teachers are more competent and stimulating than in earlier times and that the American system of higher education has brought the American people to an unprecedented level of academic competence. But while they regard the academic revolution as having been an historically necessary and progressive step they argue that like all revolutions it can devour its children. For Jencks and Riesman academic professionalism is an advance over amateur gentility but they warn of its dangers and limitations: the elitism and arrogance implicit in meritocracy the myopia that derives from a strictly academic view of human experience and understanding the complacency that comes from making technical competence an end rather than a means.
