== Constitutional Right? ==
A few decisions suggest that academic freedom is a constitutional right implied by the [[First Amendment]] and reserved by the [[Ninth Amendment]]. See Keyishian v. Board of Regents, 385 U.S. 589, 603 (1967). But such a right is "ill-defined and the case law defining it is inconsistent." Hillis v. Stephen F. Austin State University, 665 F.2d 547, 553 (5th Cir. 1982). Perhaps this right protects only the educational process itself. See id.; see also Keyishian, 385 U.S. at 603; NAACP v. Button, 371 U.S. 415, 433 (1963).
