Other focuses of coverage include major laws and commonly employed college and university policies governing free speech and civil liberties for students, faculty, and other employees on campuses and classrooms across the country.This book accomplishes all of the above via a combination of informative resources-tables, primary documents, biographical profiles, illuminating essays, a chronology, and more-that are the trademark of the Contemporary World Issues series.>
