摘要：The nature, the security, and transmission of information have always been of the greatest concern to national defense worldwide. The military complex, along with other governmental agencies, is motivated to place restrictions on any one of these three aspects of information. This has important implications for universities and their faculty. This paper will outline the escalating tensions arising from the sharply distinct cultures of the military and institutions of higher education in post-9/11 America, and their respective and divergent views on the nature and use of information. The paper provides needed insight into the values embedded in the military culture that potentially oppose academic freedom, reinforcing the imperative for universities to proactively manage the ethical choice and publication of their research. This paper’s point of view reflects the lead author’s prior career in the armed forces. With the recent breaches of security the discussion points in this paper are both topical and timely.
