Academic freedom in perilous times: Remarks at July 21, 2007 Symposium honoring Professor Jacklyn Cock at the University of Witwatersrand
Abstract This paper presents an observation of Academic Freedom in the United States and South Africa. It compares academic freedom in both countries drawing on what is referred to as the Big Five in the United States. It suggests that the threat to academic freedom in the United States is from outside the university whereas such threats come from inside the academe in the South African case.
