AAUP’s 2015 Volume on Academic Freedom
The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) has published the 2015 edition of its Journal of Academic Freedom. The volume covers a variety of events and issues. Several pieces are on Steven Salaita’s “unhiring.” There’s a piece on the personal ethics of academic freedom, one on the emergence of institutional review boards as threats to academic freedom, and one on the relation between Title IX compliance and academic freedom, among others.

Looking through the article it definitely seems like some interesting work, though it would be nice to see a bit more on Title IX than one article.
