Contributing editor Dina Horwedel, in “Blogging Rights,” examines the murky First Amendment and academic freedom issues raised by the blogging phenomenon. Blogs can be simply described as interactive, mini-news or op-ed Web sites that are typically maintained by individuals. The recent firing of a DeVry University instructor for content on her personal blog had many in the higher education community weighing in on what constitutes protected speech.

And lastly, editor in chief, Frank L. Matthews, conducts an interview with John F. Ebersole, the new president of Excelsior College, a leader in distance education. Ebersole candidly discusses the current benefits of online learning, as well as its enormous untapped potential.
