In a damning and dramatic move that would formally ratify the corruption of the ideals of liberal education by today’s campus radicals, University of California president Richard Atkinson and U.C. Berkeley Law School professor Robert Post are proposing to gut the University of California’s statement on academic freedom. The current U.C. statement on academic freedom contains several strong provisions which prevent professors from preaching a political viewpoint, or otherwise imposing political views on their students. Atkinson and Post now propose to eliminate these essential protections of every student’s academic freedom. You can read about the proposal here.
