How far does the idea of academic freedom extend to professors in an era of racial reckoning?<\/b><\/p>\n

The protests of summer 2020, which were ignited by the murder of George Floyd, led to long-overdue reassessments of the legacy of racism and white supremacy in both American academe and cultural life more generally. But while universities have been willing to rename some buildings and schools or grapple with their role in the slave trade, no one has yet asked the most uncomfortable question: Does academic freedom extend to racist professors?<\/p>\n

It’s Not Free Speech<\/i>\u00a0considers the ideal of academic freedom in the wake of the activism inspired by outrageous police brutality, white supremacy, and the #MeToo movement. Arguing that academic freedom must be rigorously distinguished from freedom of speech, Michael B\u00e9rub\u00e9 and Jennifer Ruth take aim at explicit defenses of colonialism and theories of white supremacy\u2014theories that have no intellectual legitimacy whatsoever. Approaching this question from two angles\u2014one, the question of when a professor’s intramural or extramural speech calls into question his or her fitness to serve, and two, the question of how to manage the simmering tension between the academic freedom of faculty and the antidiscrimination initiatives of campus offices of diversity, equity, and inclusion\u2014they argue that the democracy-destroying potential of social media makes it very difficult to uphold the traditional liberal view that the best remedy for hate speech is more speech.<\/p>\n

In recent years, those with traditional liberal ideals have had very limited effectiveness in responding to the resurgence of white supremacism in American life. It is time, B\u00e9rub\u00e9 and Ruth write, to ask whether that resurgence requires us to rethink the parameters and practices of academic freedom. Touching as well on contingent faculty, whose speech is often inadequately protected,\u00a0It’s Not Free Speech<\/i>\u00a0insists that we reimagine shared governance to augment both academic freedom and antidiscrimination initiatives on campuses. Faculty across the nation can develop protocols that account for both the new realities\u2014from the rise of social media to the decline of tenure\u2014and the old realities of long-standing inequities and abuses that the classic liberal conception of academic freedom did nothing to address. This book will resonate for anyone who has followed debates over #MeToo, Black Lives Matter, Critical Race Theory, and “cancel culture”; more specifically, it should have a major impact on many facets of academic life, from the classroom to faculty senates to the office of the general counsel.<\/p>\n
