Sno Isle). Perhaps that's because public libraries invest more in biographies, but I do think it's interesting that this book is about her experience in higher ed and no academic libraries carry it. Freedom of speech, censorship, academic freedom...these are
weighty and important topics for all of us in higher ed right now. Do we only purchase the books that speak to one side of the topic? </span></p>
