Who controls what is taught in American universities - professors or politicians?
The answer is far from clear but suddenly urgent. Unprecedented efforts are now underway to restrict what ideas can be promoted and discussed in university classrooms. Professors at public universities have long assumed that their freedom to teach is unassailable and that there were firm constitutional protections shielding them from political interventions. Those assumptions might always have been more hopeful than sound. A battle over the control of the university classroom is now brewing, and the courts will be called upon to establish clearer guidelines as to what - if any - limits legislatures might have in dictating what is taught in public universities.
In this path-breaking book, Keith Whittington argues that the First Amendment imposes meaningful limits on how government officials can restrict the ideas discussed on university campuses. In clear and accessible prose, he illuminates the legal status of academic freedom in the United States and shows how existing constitutional doctrine can be deployed to protect unbridled free inquiry.

誰控制美國大學的教學內容 - 教授還是政治人物？
答案並不明確，但卻變得迫在眉睫。前所未有的努力正在進行，以限制在大學課堂上可以推廣和討論的思想。公立大學的教授們長期以來一直認為，他們的教學自由是不可侵犯的，並且有堅實的憲法保護使他們免受政治干預。然而，這些假設可能一直是更具希望而非實際的。大學課堂控制權的戰鬥現在正在醞釀，法院將被要求建立更明確的指導方針，以確定立法機構在規定公立大學教學內容方面可能有的任何限制。
在這本開創性的書中，Keith Whittington主張，第一修正案對政府官員如何限制大學校園內討論的思想施加了有意義的限制。他以清晰易懂的文筆闡明了美國學術自由的法律地位，並展示了現有的憲法學說如何被用來保護不受限制的自由探究。
