Correspondence On An Academic Freedom Controversy

To: Andrew Christopher

Subject: Question about "A Teachable Ethics Scandal"

Dear Andrew Christopher,

I am the current president of Psychologists for Social Responsibility and many of us at PsySR have been concerned about the proposed retraction of the article "A Teachable Ethics Scandal." I see that it is, for the moment, still available. Is there still an intention to retract it?

From another colleague at PsySR, I received the retraction notice below:

Retraction of "A Teachable Ethics Scandal"

The following article has been retracted by the editor and publishers of Teaching of Psychology:

Handelsman, M. M. (2017). A teachable ethics scandal. Teaching of Psychology, 44, 278-284. doi: 10.1177/0098628317712789

The retraction is based on the ongoing events surrounding the foundation of this article. We believe it is prudent to wait until the case is resolved before teachers use these events in their classrooms.

However, I cannot find this retraction notice online. I hope that is a sign that the journal may be reconsidering this decision in light of the likely chill on academic expression it could have.

Thanks much for any update you could offer.

Sincerely,

Ian
