A response to Marc Brodsky Page 1 of 3
For immediate release...
HUNDREDS OF PHYSICISTS AI{D OTHER SCHOLARS
DEMAND REINSTATEMENT OF PHYSICIST FIRED FOR
WRITING BOOK
More than 750 scientists and other scholars in a wide range of fields have
condemned the American Institute of Physics for firing Physics Today
magazine staff editor Jeff Schmidt over his book, Disciplined Minds
(Rowman & Littlefield Publishers). Among the protesters signing letters
delivered on 14 January 2002 are two Nobel Prize winning scientists and
rnore than 500 physicists -- the largest number of physicists ever to speak
out on a freedom-of-expression issue in the United States.
The protesters have written a flurry of letters demanding that the magazine
reinstate Schmidt, who was fired after 19 years on the job a few days after
officials at Physics Today and the American Institute of Physics, which
publishes the magazine, saw his book. Disciplined Minds is about the politics
of professional worko and uses the education and employment of physicists
to illustrate its points. The origin of job dissatisfaction, argues Schmidt, is
employersrinsistence on exclusive control over the political aspects of the
work, and the subordination of the vision of those who actually do it.
The details of the case are explained in an appeal to scientists by three
professors of physics and in a statement by two former Physics Today staff
members. (See the appeal appended below.) The appeal resulted in a
protest letter signed by more than 540 individuals, mainly physicists. About
100 individuals, mainly physicists and former Physics Today staff members,
drafted other letters blasting the magazine for its repressive behavior and
likewise demanding Schmidt's reinstatement. Massachusetts Institute of
Technology linguist and social critic Noam Chomsky helped to solicit
signatures on another protest letter, which has been signed by about 150
scholars and others at institutions across the country, in a wide variety of
Iields outside of the sciences.
Ironically, the American Institute of Physics is governed by the American
Physical Society and other physics organizations that often speak out
publicly when dissident physicists outside the United States are punished for
expressing their views.
All of the group and individual letters, along with the names and afliliations
of the more than 750 signers, are posted on the Web at http://disciplined-
minds.com.
The protests forced the American Institute of Physics to break its silence and
issue a very revealing public statement, which is posted on the Web at
http://disciplined-minds.com -- along with a response by physicists Talat
Rahman of Kansas State University, George F. Reiter of the University of
Houston, Michael A. Lee of Kent State University, and Denis G. Rancourt of
the University of Ottawa.
