This book was released on 2001 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents policy statements as they have been formulated by standing and special committees of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) from 1940 to the present. Also included are a number of reports on special topics that have been approved by the AAUP for publication. The AAUP has been engaged in developing standards for sound academic practice and in working for the acceptance of these standards for more than 85 years. The policy documents offer guidance to all components of the academic community for the development of institutional policy or the resolution of concrete issues. Some documents are designed to be adapted as institutional policy. Third parties also use some of these statements to support their own policies. The policy statements and reports are grouped into these categories: (1) "Academic Freedom, Tenure, and Due Process"; (2) "Professional Ethics"; (3) "Research and Teaching"; (4) "Distance Education and Intellectual Property"; (5) "Discrimination"; (6) "College and University Government"; (7) "Collective Bargaining"; (8) "Student Rights and Freedoms"; (9) "College and University Accreditation"; (10) "Collateral Benefits"; and (11) "Constitution." Appendixes contain the AAUP's 1915 "Declaration of Principles" and three other documents related to procedures in academic freedom cases, standards for investigation, and selected judicial decisions and scholarly writings related to AAUP policy.

Download or read book Immigration and Citizenship written by Thomas Alexander Aleinikoff and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a theme of membership and belonging reflected throughout, Immigration and Citizenship: Process and Policy presents exceptionally broad coverage of immigration and citizenship and their unalienable rights. The book discusses constitutional protections, deportation, and judicial review and removal procedures. The authors define immigration and citizenship to include not only the traditional questions of who is admitted and who is allowed to stay in the United States, but also the complex areas of discrimination between citizens and non-citizens, unauthorized migration, federalism, and the close interaction of constitutional law with statutes and regulations. The fifth edition integrates important developments, including many changes to the immigration statutes as part of the Patriot Act; anti-terrorism enforcement; and splitting up the Immigration and Naturalization Service into various parts of the new Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies. Other significant changes include deleting the chapter on the concept of entry, folding the deportation chapter's discussion of relief into a general chapter on the grounds of deportability, and creating a new chapter on undocumented immigration.

Download or read book Out of Bounds written by Matthew Abraham and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2014-01-02 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic freedom is a key element of the academic enterprise in the U.S. However, it does not seem to exist when scholars seek to advocate on behalf of Palestinian self-determination. This unique work examines how the knowledge-power nexus is shaping the discourse around the Israel-Palestine conflict and restricting academic freedom. Beginning with a discussion of American Zionism, the work proceeds to explain why scholars working on the question of Palestine are often denied standard academic freedom. This is supported by prominent cases, such as Norman G. Finkelstein's denial of tenure, the Middle East Studies Department at Columbia University, and Mearsheimer and Walt's book, The Israel Lobby. The work of Edward Said and Noam Chomsky are also discussed and the book concludes with recommendations for protecting intellectual freedom to those seeking to critically pursue the question of Palestine. This scholarly study will appeal to a broad audience of faculty, students, and readers who seek to understand the importance of academic freedom and the thorny debates surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict.
