Post-Tenure Review in Florida: Can Collective Bargaining Protect Academic Freedom?

Part of the webinar series "Academic Freedom School: Defending Academic Freedom in Florida." This webinar series is designed to create an ongoing conversation about the threats to academic freedom experienced by faculty in Florida’s public college and university system. Panels will focus on specific examples in Florida and provide useful information for groups organizing around the defense of academic freedom. Given this state’s position on the front line of the assault on academic freedom, faculty, staff, and students from across the country are also invited to join. The series is co-sponsored by UFF-UCF, UFF-FIU, and the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom (AAUP).

Panelists for the first session include Risa Lieberwitz (former general counsel of the AAUP and professor of labor and employment law at Cornell University) and Jennifer Proffitt (Theodore Clevenger Professor of Communication at FSU and co-chief negotiator of the most recent FSU contract), and the discussion will be moderated by Tim Cain (professor of higher education at the University of Georgia's Louise McBee Institute of Higher Education and fellow at the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom).
