BY HANK REICHMAN
At the invitation of the AAUP chapter, I was scheduled to visit and speak at La Salle University in Philadelphia in April 2020 about my book, The Future of Academic Freedom. Of course, the appearance was cancelled owing to the pandemic. Yesterday, I belatedly spoke to members of the La Salle faculty via Zoom, although I now focused more on my recent publication, Understanding Academic Freedom. The event, which lasted a bit more than an hour, was recorded and is available for viewing by clicking on this link:
My thanks to the La Salle AAUP chapter for their kind invitation and to those who attended.
