Will wonders ever cease?

According to Free Exchange on Campus, a group to which the AAUP belongs, the board of trustees at the College of DuPage in Chicago has proposed the adoption of David Horowitz’s Academic Bill of Rights. The board is also seeking changes in campus ”rules that would allow trustees to exert extraordinary control over curricular decisions, faculty pay, the student newspaper, and selection of outside speakers.”

“Faculty members and students at the community college,” reports the AAUP, “have protested the changes, characterizing them as threats to academic freedom and, in some cases, violations of state law.”
