Negative Positive
Title: A goldmine of information!
Review: I don't have much to add to all the positive reviews here, except that I found the book both inspiring and helpful (esp. the chapter on the history of 1st Amendment litigation). The shear number of instances cited is absolutely incredible. (After finishing the book I was somewhat amazed by their apology at the beginning about leaving so many cases out...) The book is written with both extreme clarity and passion. The biggest growth area on campuses the last decade or so has been in the number of administrators, so it was good to see their often dubious benefit get some badly needed attention.One very minor quibble I had might be with the way student and faculty issues are somewhat intermingled -- the lack of any mention of non-tenured faculty makes be conclude they have the least rights of all on university campuses today (which is dealt with in the excellent book "The Invisible Faculty"). But all in all this is one great book.
Is the review positive or negative?
