On Academic Freedom and Institutional Neutrality (Jacob T. Levy)
digressionsimpressions.substack.com
Regular readers know that Jacob Levy (McGill) and Shannon Dea (Regina) are my lode-stones in my unfolding understanding of academic freedom. They have an unusual capacity to speak to academic communities and wider publics at once. I suspect it is not a coincidence they work at Canadian universities, including stints in administration (Levy is the Chair of his department and Dea is a Dean). They are familiar enough with the intense partisan polarization on these matters Stateside, while remaining some dispassionate distance from it. Because of their leadership roles they have to balance a number of considerations, and perhaps this is a source of the practical wisdom in these affairs.
