Michael Berube on Academic Freedom

A must read for all you academic types. It's long, but it's worth it. A very small sample:

Many people, it seems...expect college faculties to be full of liberals the way they expect country clubs or corporate boardrooms to be full of conservatives; it’s just the way the world is divvied up. They get the money and the power and the finely manicured golf courses, and we get the survey classes on the American novel.

Go! Read! This will be on the final.
