25 minutes agoAttacking Academic Freedom on This Constitution Day
Today is Constitution Day, marking the Sept. 17, 1787, signing of the Constitution by the 39 delegates at the Constitutional Convention who had written its words. And 238 years later, we face the worst assault on the constitutional rights protecting academic freedom in all of American history. In less than nine months, Donald Trump's administration has engaged in more unconstitutional actions attacking free expression in higher education than all of the 44 previous presidents combined.
