February 1953
NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY
As an interested alumnus of Rutgers University, I would like to commend the action of the Board of Trustees in the Heimlich-Finley matter. Universities are not unlike industry or any other organizations?they must have a policy and certain discipline among their personnel and I feel that some of the professors of our universities are misconstruing "academic freedom", and considering it to be a license to do as they please. I really think this situation should be corrected.
GEORGE MORRISON '14
Assessment 3
- What is your opinion/theory on "academic freedom" and how far can a university professor take that in his classroom?
- How does Mr. Morrison compare the university environment to that of an industrial workplace?
