Regents Critique Policy Proposal on Bias and Freedom
A University of Iowa professor denounces the Regents policy plan Chapter 3.23 as attacking academic freedom and student capacity to judge history and social issues. The letter argues for trust in students and teachers to uphold inquiry while condemning the Regents for stifling free thought. It also criticizes voter turnout and party behavior in the recent presidential election and condemns perceived support for Israeli actions amid broader political disillusion.
