The Management of Dissent: Responses to the Post Kent State Protests at Seven Public Universities in Illinois [Paperback]

The Management of Dissentis an analysis of the student protests on seven of Illinois' public institutions of higher learning following the deaths of four students at Kent State University on May 4, 1970. Author Brian K. Clardy describes the nature of campus unrest on each particular campus, as well as the unique reasons behind both their causes and ultimate resolution. Clardy notes how state government officials held college presidents and administrations accountable for maintaining order. This book plays a major role in adding a policy related dimension to the 1960s protest literature because it goes beyond a mere coverage of the major personalities of the period and focuses upon policy outcomes.Brian K. Clardyis Professor of History and Political Science at Triton College, Illinois.
