This chapter discusses Milton and his idea of regicide. It discusses his The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates and the concepts of regicide, tyrranicide, and enemy found in his work. Milton's Tenure asserts that a tyrannical ruler should no longer be regarded as one of the powers ordained by God and may be therefore be resisted like a private person who employs unjust force. The chapter also discusses his political theory and his emerging notion of resistance, including the significance of his method of not naming Charles Stuart as a public enemy or hostis in his Tenure.Less

Using a risk management framework, the book discusses the landscape of U.S. higher education and faculty employment decisions. Topics include institutional differences, challenges facing colleges and universities, the erosion of academic standards, administrative bloat, changing promotion and tenure standards, sexual harassment, and Title IX concerns about campus safety. Attention is also given to the manner in which faculty members are hired and mentored and the decision-making biases that affect the way in which faculty members are granted promotion and tenure. The social psychological aspects of faculty employment decisions have been largely ignored in the literature, and we attempt to shed some light on these issues as we deconstruct promotion and tenure decisions. Traditional legal concepts of contract and employment law are examined as they pertain to hiring, promotion, and tenure decisions along with the cherished, but changing, ideals of free speech, academic freedom, and collegiality that have altered how faculty must deal with the rising tensions of political correctness on campus.Less

This chapter examines John Milton's use of the word perhaps in his works. Though Milton was not often tentative, he used perhaps several times in many of his works including Areopagitica, Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, and Of Reformation. This chapter suggests that the pattern of Milton's use of perhaps is too strong to see as casual, especially when perhaps is nowhere used in a neutral or casual way in his church reform pamphlets.Less

This chapter gives an account of the political activism of Milton after the defeat of the royalists. The victory of the revolutionary Independents broke Milton's long silence. He had concluded his advocacy of theological heterodoxy and of the toleration of such heterodoxy with a politically symbolic act, the publication of Poems in 1645. He returned to print, neither as a poet nor as an apologist for a persecuted minority position but as ideologue of a successful revolution. By the time of the first edition of his Tenure of Kings and Magistrates the king had been killed, though it is usually argued that composition of the pamphlet had extended back to the time of the trial.Less

The chapter opens with my becoming the founding director of the Center for Research on Women (CROW) and learning how to make it financially and programmatically viable. I receive considerable assistance from Jing Lyman, wife of Stanford’s president, Richard Lyman. My research is on occupational gender segregation – why women and men are distributed so unevenly across occupations – and I begin working with David Tyack in the School of Education to study historical changes in the gender composition of teaching. I participate in the formation of the Feminist Studies teaching program and become one of the consultants hired by General Motors to help them combat discrimination against women who have been allowed to work on the assembly line for the first time.
I come up for promotion and tenure at the Business School and am turned down, but eventually receive a promotion and tenure offer from the School of Education. The chapter ends with my son Jason’s Bar Mitzvah and my father’s death.Less

The introduction argues that although the academy has a spoken (the written) commitment to diversity, the same attitudes (the unwritten) that kept faculty of color out of predominately white institutions in the 1940s works against them during personnel reviews. It highlights examples of the current climate where meritocratic language is used as if it’s neutral, discusses how the work of program building that many scholars of color are called upon to do is undervalued, and argues that personal narratives about tenure process are vital to a clearer understanding of the system’s weaknesses. In addition to including quantitative data, the introduction offers a historical and contemporary context for the stories included in the anthology.Less

Reconstruction occurred on a blank constitutional slate. President Andrew Johnson’s rigid character and outdated values adversely affected the nation’s approach to it. After following Abraham Lincoln’s early policy, he formed his own constitutional approach to Reconstruction before Congress convened, using the pardon power to reconstruct rebel states with few of the conditions needed to protect the freed slaves. Congress then asserted its own constitutional primacy, overriding Johnson’s vetoes of its legislation. He resisted enforcing the statutes, in disregard of his faithful execution duty. He assailed the legitimacy of the Reconstruction Congress and resisted the Fourteenth Amendment. Eventually, he was impeached, and narrowly escaped conviction and removal. Ironically, he was impeached for defying an unconstitutional statute, the Tenure of Office Act, which restricted his command of the executive branch. He should have been removed for his failures of faithful execution. The disputed election of 1876 was another Electoral College crisis.Less

This chapter focuses on Ulysses S. Grant, the only president to serve eight consecutive years in the White House between the terms of Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson. Grant became president after having served as general in chief for the entire Johnson administration, a position that allowed him to play a major administrative role in determining the course of Reconstruction. He immediately differentiated himself from Andrew Johnson through his inaugural address by pledging, “I will always express my views to Congress, and when I think it advisable, will exercise the constitutional privilege of interposing a veto. But all laws will be faithfully executed whether they meet my approval or not.” Grant's first big fight with Congress was to come over repeal of the infamous Tenure of Office Act, the statute that had nearly destroyed Johnson's presidency.Less

This chapter examines John Milton's Areopagitica, published in 1644, which reflects the complexity that a brilliant talent brings to a subject with which he has both a political engagement and a personal stake. Milton's reputation as an advocate of freedom of speech is balanced against his record as a zealous pamphleteer in The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates. Ultimately, Areopagitica remains known for Milton's call, “Give me the liberty to know, to utter, and to argue freely according to conscience, above all liberties.” That eloquence must be heard as the voice of Milton's better angel.Less

This chapter traces the degree to which the early modern period saw law as inextricably linked to disciplines such as philosophy, ethics, and especially theology. It discusses Milton's prose writings, including Doctrine and Discipline of Divorce, Tenure of Kings and Magistrates, and A Defense of the English People, to show how consistently Milton refuses to make a substantive distinction between divine law and human law. Like theology, law helps Milton understand how God's mind works. This chapter surveys the period's complex jurisdictional terrain, and the last section uses three prominent scholarly arguments about Paradise Lost (particularly the work of lawyer/Milton critic Stanley Fish) to indicate how modern assumptions about the nature of law have deflected attention away from the law/religion pairing so fundamental to Milton's poem.Less

This concluding chapter provides an account of how the staff of the American Association of University Professors' (AAUP) Committee A on Academic Freedom and Tenure operates and provides suggestions about how its departmental practices might be revised to better serve the profession. Its focus is on the culture of the office and of the department to help faculty members become better informed about how Committee A makes decisions and to initiate wide discussion of how that process might be updated and adapted to a changing world. The chapter draws from two incidents: the author's arrest at New York University as part of a demonstration on behalf of the university's graduate-student employees and the closure of Antioch College. These examples raise a more general concern about how the AAUP can balance its dual identities as both a quasi-judicial body and an advocacy organization.Less

This chapter examines Edwin M. Stanton's surreptitious moves that it seems undermined Andrew Johnson's presidency. It begins by discussing the New Orleans riot and its impact on Johnson's administration and how the president's obstinacy alienated him from a solid majority in Congress. It then considers Stanton's suppression of the telegram from Absalom Baird that was intended for Johnson; Johnson's tour of the North; Stanton's support for Joseph Holt, who was accused of suborning perjury in prosecuting the suspects in the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln in 1865; Stanton's opposition to the Tenure of Office Act and faithlessness to Johnson's Southern policy; and the debate between Johnson and his cabinet over Henry Stanbery's evolving interpretation of the Reconstruction Acts.Less

This chapter focuses on the clergy of the Church of England. It first explains the process of selection and training for deacons and priests, along with their ordination, functions, and duties. It then considers the status and responsibilities of incumbents, patronage, and presentation of a cleric to a benefice, and suspension of presentation. It also examines the institution, collation, and induction of a presentee as well as unbeneficed clergy such as assistant curates and priests-in-charge of parishes, the authority of priests to officiate under the Extra-Parochial Ministry Measure, the right of priests to hold office under Common Tenure, and the role of visitations in maintaining the discipline of the Church. The chapter concludes with a discussion of clergy retirement and removal, employment status of clergy, vacation of benefices, group and team ministries, and other church appointments including rural or area deans, archdeacons, diocesan bishops, suffragan bishops, and archbishops.Less
