In a recent interview on the Professor "Watchlist", historian Ellen Schrecker said, One just hopes that the academic community doesn't fold. It did fold in the 1950s. Professor emerita of American history at Yeshiva University, Ellen Schrecker is a leading authority on McCarthyism whose many books include Many Are the Crimes: McCarthyism in America and No Ivory Tower: McCarthyism in the Universities. Schrecker is the former editor of the American Association of University Professors magazine, Academe. She has been called "the dean of the anti-anti-Communist historians."
