Preferred term

Keyishian v. Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York  

Definition

  • Keyishian v. Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York (1967) arose at a time when it was common for public employers to require their employees, including educators, to subscribe to loyalty oaths. These oaths, which included possible criminal sanctions, were often more concerned with what educators should not have done, such as avoiding membership in specified organizations, rather than what activities they should have pursued.
