Book synopsis

The File is a collection of documents from a major dispute§involving a number of American college professors, mainly§mathematicians, statisticians,and sociologists. The§controversy was ignited by the mathematician Serge Lang's§reaction to a questionnaire, "The 1977 Survey of the§American Professoriate", distributed by E. C. Ladd of the§University of Connecticut and S. M. Lipset of Stanford. The§ensuing discussion - in part acrimonious and personal - soon§involved a large group of active and passive participants,§and included issues such as survey techniques, evaluation of§academic work, public and political honesty, and McCarthyism§at Harvard.
