Bérubé, Michael – Change: The Magazine of Higher Learning, 2023
Florida's governor and legislature have mounted a multipronged assault on the intellectual autonomy of Florida's public colleges and universities.

Academic Freedom, the First Amendment and Competing Stakeholders: The Dynamics of a Changing Balance
Jorgensen, James D.; Helms, Lelia B. – Review of Higher Education, 2008
The Supreme Court first affirmed the importance of academic freedom in 1957.

This paper draws on the concepts of path dependence and policy space to…
