The winter issue of Academe examines the impact of war on higher education, especially in Palestine/Israel and Ukraine. Edited by former AAUP vice president Henry Reichman, professor emeritus of history at California State University, East Bay, this special issue demonstrates how colleges and universities are “by no means immune from the direct and indirect effects of war.” Articles examine the academic freedom of Palestinian and Israeli scholars, the silencing of dissent in the Russian academy, the “multilayered and multidirectional" development of Ukrainian universities, and the experience of exile. Other pieces look back at the continuing impact of the Vietnam War on US academia and at the “war on campus” that erupted last spring when university administrations responded to antiwar protests by calling in police.
