Inventory to the Rutgers University School of Law. Committe of Review. Transcripts of the Hearings Regarding The Suspension of Abraham Glasser, May-June, 1953

http://www2.scc.rutgers.edu/ead/uarchives/glasserf.html

The records of the hearings regarding the suspension of Abraham Glasser, Professor of Law, before the Faculty Committee of Review of the School of Law, consist of eight transcripts dating May-June, 1953. The transcripts are arranged chronologically in one half manuscript box. The Faculty Committee was referred to the case by University President Lewis Webster Jones, with Law Professor Arthur R. Lewis named chairman. In the course of the hearings, the Committee followed a strict reading of President Jones' two questions: did Glasser violate the fixed policy of the Board of Trustees concerning invoking the fifth amendment when questioned about Communist Party affiliation or membership, and if so, whether there were any unusual circumstances which mitigated this violation.
