I spoke to United Campus Workers of Mississippi about the philosophy and mostly law of tenure and academic freedom, and then answered questions related to attacks on tenure and academic freedom in Missisisippi. The discussion was well-received, and faculty elsewhere might find it useful. There are a lot of basic facts about what tenure means, and what academic freedom involves, that are often not well-understood.
