+More from Bérubé and Ruth:

+> A robust theory of academic freedom must be grounded in the common good. The common good is an intelligible concept only if what Charles Mills calls non-ideal (that is, not colorblind and abstract but historically and reality-based) forms of equality and justice are as highly valued as is freedom. If we do not presume the equal dignity and value of all humans, we will inevitably create regimes of abstract "freedom" that privilege some groups over others in the name of a specious universalism.
