Free Inquiry and Academic Freedom
Robert M. Berdahl, Hanna Holborn Gray, Bob Kerrey, Anthony Marx, Charles M. Vest, and Joseph Westphal Free Inquiry and Academic Freedom: A Panel Discussion among Academic Leaders k e r r e y I was asked earlier, when we had quite a good conversation— and I hope it can take off in the direction we were going, and without necessarily responding to my question—to start with a general ques tion. So I'll just give you a general question: During your …
The Future of Universities and the Fate of Free Inquiry and Academic Freedom
This paper suggests that the time for free inquiry and academic freedom at European universities has rarely been better than at present, that debates and results arising from independent scientific discourse have rarely had better chances of blossoming and evoking a response than in the time in which we now live, and that the basic rules of university and scholarly work in general are, by no means, seriously threatened in Europe, in comparison to…
Free Inquiry
Free and open inquiry is a human condition—it is established, maintained, and protected by humans. It is not a natural force that we can harness, nor a natural right that we inherit, nor is it a natural resource that we can mine.

This paper elaborates upon these thoughts and outlines som…

International Justice, War Crimes, and Terrorism
THE topics addressed in this volume—international justice, war crimes, and terrorism—are among the most important that mankind faces in the twenty-first century. They are also topics that make us uncomfortable precisely because they are often ethically ambiguous. The September 11 suicide mass murders that focused Americans’ minds on the random, immoral, and destructive violence of terrorism were not ethically ambiguous. As a result they moved the…
Hidden problems in current health-care financing and potential changes
Health-care costs in the United States have risen significantly in the past 10 years, markedly affecting access to quality medical and mental health care. Deficit financing of our federal health-care expenditures adds billions of dollars annually to our national debt. Health-care reform is being hindered by both the inability of the government to pay for the uninsured and the unremitting spiral of the Medicare and Medicaid entitlement programs. T…
