Marjorie Heins, writing in Academe Blog: “Harry Keyishian, the last surviving plaintiff in the most important Supreme Court academic freedom case of the twentieth century, died on April 4 at the age of 93.  He was one of only five University of Buffalo professors who in 1964 refused to sign an anti-communist loyalty oath and was the first to be fired…. The Keyishian decision is more important than ever today, given the Trump Administration’s brazen attacks on university governance and curriculum decisions, and on individual professors’ freedom to speak, write, and teach.  Substitute “anti-‘woke,’” “anti-Middle East Studies,” or “anti-DEI” for “anti-subversive” or “anti-communist,” and it’s clear that we need more First Amendment heroes like Harry Keyishian.” Read her full commentary here.
