ACADEMIC FREEDOM In an article entitled "The Unreported Crisis in the Southern Colleges" in the October issue of Harper's, C. Vann Woodward discusses the recent attacks in the South on academic freedom. In the article, Wood- ward spent most of his four and a half pages cataloguing incidents in violation of academic freedom. These inci- dents almost invariably resulted from pressure applied on college presidents by politicians or other high mucke- ty-mucks in the world of anybodys-soul-for-sale-at-the- right-price. The incidents usually resulted in the per- emptory dismissal of a professor or student whose ex- pressed views did not correspond to those of the whip hands. Woodward points out that the most frequent South- ern violators of academic freedom are reactionaries? White Citizens Council,Ku Klux Klan, John Birch So- ciety?who clash with current agitations for Negro rights. (Most offenders in any area seem to be re- actionaries of one kind or another.) These reactionaries take great pleasure in discussing how the "unctuous and dishonest cloak of academic freedom" is used to conceal sedition and outright treason. Their shenani- gans and innuendoes have resulted in nearly twenty new cases outstanding of academic freedom and tenure in the files of the American Association of University Professors in the last year. This almost equals the num- ber of violations previously extant from the entire his- tory of that organization. Aside, may we remind Mr. Woodward that in his discussion of these harbingers of would-be New Mc- Carthyism, he should not forget that travesties on the sanctity of the academic community occur elsewhere than in the South. Recently, for example, right-wing Senator Barry Goldwater forced the resignation of Uni- versity of Colorado President Quig Newton, in one of the most astounding breaches of justice and honor ever witnessed. To make matters even more distasteful, Gold- water is not a citizen of Colorado.
