A UCLA Teach-In Defending Academic Freedom
Some 30 UCLA faculty have been targeted for their political ideas by a small alumni group that is linked to a national radical conservative movement. Dubbed "the dirty thirty" by the alumni group, the faculty have renamed themselves "In Good Company." Several will appear in a forum to discuss: . What is academic freedom? Why is it under attack? . What forces lie behind the anti-academic freedom movement? . What is at stake for the university community - students, faculty, and staff? . What is the role of the academic/intellectual in American society? . How can students and faculty defend civil liberties? Speakers include: Dr. Saree Makdisi, English Department Dr. Vinay Lal, History Department Dr. Sondra Hale, Anthropology Department and Women's Studies Program Date: Tuesday, January 31 Time: 5 - 7 p.m Place: Dodd Hall, Room 147, UCLA Sponsors: In Good Company, University Council-AFT, Student Alliance for Freedom in Education, UCLA Departments of History, Women's Studies. and Chicana/o Studies designed by union labor --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
