"The conference "Academic Freedom - The Global Challenge" was held at Central European
University, Budapest in June 2017. Academic freedom--the institutional autonomy of
scientific, research and teaching institutions, and the freedom of individual scholars
and researchers to pursue controversial research and publish controversial opinions--is
a cornerstone of any free society. Today this freedom is under attack from the state
in many countries--Russia, Turkey, Venezuela, Hungary, China--but it is also under
question from within academe. Bitter disputes have erupted on American campuses, for
example, about the limits of free speech and about whether liberal academic freedoms
have degenerated into a form of coercive political correctness. Beyond the academy
itself, among the general public, academic freedom is contested ground. As Robert
Post of Yale Law School has put it, academic freedom is "the price the public must
pay in return for the social good of advancing knowledge." Populist currents of political
opinion are questioning the price a society pays for the freedom of its 'experts'
and professors. This book on the topic of academic freedom seeks to clarify our understanding
of what academic freedom is, why it is under attack, from without and from within,
and what needs to be done to reform and revive an ideal which is central to democratic
freedom itself"
