Description
Summary:One of the major leaders of the AAUP for two decades of the twentieth century passed away in September: Sanford H. Kadish, of the University of California, Berkeley, Law School since 1964, who lived and worked until the age of 92. He was called upon in 1965 to serve on an important national AAUP committee-the Special Committee on Procedures for Disposition of Complaints-along with two other twentieth century AAUP giants, Ralph S. Brown of Yale University and Walter P. Metzger of Columbia University. The committee's charge was to examine and make recommendations concerning the process by which the Association investigates and reports upon claims against institutional violations of academic freedom and tenure, the heart and soul of the AAUP's activities. He was also highly esteemed for his contributions as scholar, teacher, and academic leader. His principal field of study was criminal law.
