Abstract

The article discusses the case of Oliver Lee in Hawaii, for his professional survival and rights of a free man under the protection of the First Amendment of the Constitution. Lee is a naturalized citizen of Chinese-German background and an assistant professor in the department of political science at the University of Hawaii. Lee was recommended for tenure in a split vote by his department but was questioned for being an advisor of the anti-war student group, Student Partisan Alliance. The decision of the Hearing Committee noted that the administration did not have reasonable cause to revoke the letter of intent.
