Inside Higher Ed: Casualty of anti-war activism
Alan Temes believes that being a professor doesn’t mean you give up your First Amendment rights — and that his beliefs cost him a chance at tenure.
Temes, an assistant professor of health and physical education at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, had been receiving good reviews until last year, when some of his colleagues objected to notices he posted in the hallway of an academic building, among the various other notices that line such hallways. Temes posted — and regularly updated — the death counts of U.S. soldiers and Iraqi civilians killed since the United States invaded.
