Philip Lee

Academic Freedom at American Universities

Constitutional Rights, Professional Norms, and Contractual Duties

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Lee argues that the dominant constitutional analysis of academic freedom is insufficient to protect the full range of academic freedom interests that have emerged over time. As an alternative to an exclusively First Amendment foundation for this freedom, it proposes for a contract-law-based conception specifically for professors.
