Arms and the University probes various dimensions of the tense relationship between the military and the university. Developing and applying a theory of civic and liberal education, this book shows how some military presence on campus can contribute to the diversity of ideas and the education of all students.

This book deals with the decline of respect for free speech, academic freedom, and civil liberty that have swept higher education in America over the last decade and a half. Drawing on personal experience as well as research, Downs analyzes the origins and development of the problem.
