A forum will be held at Kennesaw State University Wednesday examining the role of academic freedom in scientific research and teaching.

This is the second event about academic freedom since Timothy Chandler withdrew as the college's provost in response to accusations that he was a Marxist because of a paper he co-authored.

The forum will be held at noon in the Clendenin Atrium and will feature Scott Reese, a biology professor. It was organized by the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors.
