Academic Freedom Media Review, January 1-7 2011

This review is compiled by Scholars at Risk and I re-post it regularly. If you are not familiar with the organization. Please visit their site. SAR is a international network of universities and colleges that defends academic freedom and responds to attacks on scholars and teachers, often by rescuing them from their situation, at least until the situation has improved. Their site is an interesting source of information on the status of academic freedom around the globe. Here now, is the review.

The Scholars at Risk media review seeks to raise awareness about academic freedom issues in the news. Subscription information and archived media reviews are available here. The views and opinions expressed in these articles are not necessarily those of Scholars at Risk.
