Event: Professors Speak Out

National Association of Scholars

The newly released book Professors Speak Out: The Truth About Campus Investigations (Academica Press), offers an anthology of twenty stories from professors investigated by their universities. The book features the stories of 22 faculty members from a range of fields, and this work reveals a disturbing trend of college and university investigations. These narratives illustrate the growing number of questionable campus probes, often triggered by the articulation of unpopular viewpoints—expressions that ought to be defended by principles of free speech and academic freedom.  

We'll hear testimonies from Nicholas Wolfinger, Jason Kilbron, and Robert Froderman about their investigations, followed by a discussion on academic freedom and an audience Q&A. 

Join the National Association of Scholars on Tuesday, April 29, at 4 pm ET as we discuss the findings and implications of Professors Speak Out: The Truth About Campus Investigations.

This event will feature Nicholas H. Wolfinger, is Professor of Family & Consumer Studies and Adjunct Professor of Sociology at the University of Utah, and between 2016 and 2011 he was investigated three times by his university; Jason Kilbron, is a Professor of Law at the University of Illinois Chicago, where he teaches Civil Procedure along with commercial and business law, he recently established landmark precedent supporting the First Amendment rights of public university professors in his lawsuit against the university, and he looks forward to the next stages of that lawsuit in the coming months; and Robert Froderman, a former professor who now writes on environmental philosophy and public policy, the philosophy of science and technology, and the future of the university.
