Absurd Culprits: Professors Suppressing Freedom?

Stigler, George J.

Compact, 7, 5, 15-17, Nov-Dec 73

The power of consensus opinion among professors is the greatest threat to academic freedom in higher education. All public aid to higher education for teaching should be given directly to students and the process of disbursing research funds should be decentralized and made as competitive as possible.
