No University Is an Island by Cary Nelson
The modern university is sustained by academic freedom; it guarantees higher education's independence, its quality, and its success in educating students. The need to uphold those values would seem obvious. This book offers a comprehensive account of the social, political, and cultural forces undermining academic freedom.
"Nelson is as determined to protect the academic freedom of contingent faculty as of full professors. . he speaks up not only for academic freedom, but for better wages and conditions." - Dan Clawson (Against the Current)
