...quite competitive." The word quite distorts the truth: no other major American university offers men who actually hold the Ph.D. degree (regardless of rank) $7800. E.g. the minimum salary, for Ph.D.s (in all departments) at Berkeley, Wisconsin, Princeton, Stanford, and most other major universities, commences at $9000. See the AAUP Bulletin (June 1966), pp. 164-95. Further, a junior faculty member at Harvard who does not actually hold the Ph.D. (i.e. an acting instructor) earns...
...this should be emphasized, but why is there no mention of the unusually heavy work load (i.e. number of hours actually spent in the classroom) at Harvard? Junior faculty at Harvard spend almost twice as much time teaching when compared with men in similar ranks at other institutions (see AAUP Bulletin, LII, 1963, statements of the committee on faculty workload...
...English department, taught at Ole Miss throughout the Meredith affair. Harrington is one of the leaders of the Ole Miss chapter of the Association of American University Professors, which has fought a series of battles for academic freedom for the last four years. Just this summer, the AAUP got the courts to throw out the clause of the Mississippi loyalty oath which requires teachers in state schools to list all the organizations they have belonged to or contributed to in the last five years. The court case was surprisingly simple to win, but preparing the case, Harrington explains, took...
...Department, personally took down a painting by Jairo Amaris, an assistant professor of Art. Amaris had been hired under an agreement stipulating that none of his work would ever be censored. When his painting was romoved, Amaris took all the rest of his works out of the show. The AAUP will consider whether or not to defend Amaris's freedom from censorship. If it does, the fight will be a long one, and Amaris's nine-month contract will probably be allowed to expire in the meantime. Amaris was generally considered one of the most exciting teachers...
...there been no union to protest this crime? 31 wounded academic victims would slink off in ineffective silence. To be sure, the A.A.U.P. would conduct an investigation; if the committee then recommended censure it would go before the annual meeting in April; then it might appear in the AAUP BULLETIN on the list of censured institutions. This is the "sanction" which the AAUP imposes. Our strike, a defensive action against a "lockout" of union learers active in the forefront of educational reform at St. John's has aroused the entire academic, labor and intellectual world. It has made teaching...
