As academic freedom and university autonomy are under threat around the world, US colleges and universities are facing direct attacks from state legislatures and the federal government. Yet they are finding their defenses compromised, with both tenure and faculty governance eroded by decades of steady corporatization. 

What does academic freedom look like for teachers, scholars, artists, and students? Join us for a teach-in on April 9 at 4:30 p.m. in Dye Lecture Hall. Sponsored by The Oberlin Review and the Oberlin chapter of the AAUP.

Open to all members of the Oberlin campus community
