After a dramatic rescue from a putrid dungeon, a lanky former slave named Jonathan embarks on a journey toward a new identity. Filled with awe and gratitude over the king’s pardon of his deserved death penalty, Jonathan resolves to serve the king all of his days—but his commitment does not come without difficulty. Much to his surprise, Jonathan’s rescuers take him under their wing and welcome him into their royal military unit, dubbing him with a new name—Sir Jonathan. Despite their mentorship and heartwarming camaraderie, Sir Jonathan must still face a number of life-threatening personal dragons on his own. Will he overcome them in time? Or will it be too late? Filled with suspense, inner turmoil, and a determined hope, The King’s Knight accurately and poignantly depicts the many challenges and joys faced by those who follow the true king.

The Case for Tenure

By: Matthew W. Finkin

At a time when some institutions of higher learning are questioning the need for academic tenure and numerous state legislatures are considering its abolishment, Matthew W. Finkin presents a thorough and unapologetic case in defense of tenure. Finkin has culled materials from a variety of sources'economic analyses, judicial opinions, investigative reports, institutional studies, speeches and personal essays'to survey the entire system of tenure from probationary appointment to retirement or dismissal for cause. To these viewpoints, he adds his own commentary to illuminate what tenure means, and to clarify what it does and does not protect. He places the need for tenure not only in historical perspective, but also in the highly charged context of the contemporary campus. In suggesting the origins of the concept of academic tenure, for example, Finkin excerpts the 1915 Declaration on Academic Freedom and Tenure. That document characterized the university as ?an intellectual experiment station, where new ideas may germinate and where their fruit, though still distasteful to the community as a whole, may be allowed to ripen until finally, perchance, it may become a part of the accepted intellectual food of the nation or of the world.
