BIBLIOGRAPHY

The leading history of academic freedom, with special
reference to the United States, is Richard Hofstadter and
Walter P. Metzger, The Development of Academic Freedom
in the United States
(New York, 1955). The principal study
of the tenure concept in American higher education is by
Clark Byse and Louis Joughin, Tenure in American Higher
Education
(Ithaca, N.Y., 1959). Louis Joughin, ed., Academic
Freedom and Tenure
(Madison, 1967), contains most of the
basic statements of principles adopted by the American
Association of University Professors, as well as six important
journal articles on the subject of academic freedom and
tenure. Policy statements of the American Civil Liberties
Union on academic freedom and due process are reprinted
in the American Association of University Professors, Bul-
letin,
42 (1956), 517-29, 655-61, and 48 (1962), 111-15. The
place of academic freedom in American public law is re-
viewed in a symposium in Law and Contemporary Problems,

28 (1963), 429-671, and in William P. Murphy, “Educational
Freedom in the Courts,” American Association of University
Professors, Bulletin, 49 (1963), 309-27. The philosophy of
academic freedom is reviewed and evaluated in Russell Kirk,
Academic Freedom; An Essay in Definition (Chicago, 1955),
and in Robert M. MacIver, Academic Freedom in Our Time
(New York, 1955). Specific academic freedom cases are
reported on in almost every issue of the Bulletin of the
American Association of University Professors.
