Over the rest of break, I’ll be writing a sabbatical proposal for a book on academic freedom, using USF’s controversy over the firing of Sami Al-Arian<\/a> as one of several cases of academic-freedom controversies since September 11, 2001.<\/p>\n


\nSupplementing the larger examination of national issues by the American Association of University Professors<\/a>, this project will focus on the issues raised by specific cases:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How have attitudes towards Islam shaped academic-freedom cases since 9\/11?\n
  2. How has media attention (and university responses to media attention) shaped academic-freedom cases since 9\/11?\n
  3. How have the changing structure of American universities shaped academic-freedom cases since 9\/11?\n
  4. How has the changing politics of higher education shaped academic-freedom cases since 9\/11?<\/ol>\n

    Each core case involves attitudes towards Islam and provoked considerable media attention. With institutions ranging from a community college to one of the most famous public research universities in the country and from several regions of the country, the academic-freedom controversies since 9\/11 can tell us much about the changing structure and politics of higher education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
