- Abstract
Much as journalist argue that they have a "right to know, " scholars at public universities lay claim to their "right to academic freedom. "In both cases, these "rights" carry little weight constitutionally. But, just how much protection is actually afforded to academics through the First Amendment? This article addresses this question in light of the convergence of two elements--the corporatization of public universities and the ruling in the 2006 U.S. Supreme Court case Garcetti v. Ceballos (which heavily suggests that public employee speech does not qualify for the same level of First Amendment protection as private citizen speech). Finally, this article proposes a solution to the current crises, a solution that includes creating a constitutionally protected category of speech for academic inquiry at state colleges and universities.
