Abstract:

A dilemma resides in the interaction between intellectually free and independent universities and colleges

that exist in areas with repressive governments/regimes. Given a repressive indigenous cultural,

religious, and political climate, can and/or will those governments keep their hands off the curriculum,

the conduct of instruction and research, the contents of libraries, as well as the composition of faculty

and student bodies? The academic mission of America’s research universities is tripartite in nature,

embracing: (1) the transmission of existing knowledge, i.e. teaching; (2) extending the boundaries of

knowledge, i.e. research; and (3) the development of a capacity for critical thinking in student minds, and

the exercise of that capacity by the faculty.
