Abstract	As a feminist professor engaged in liberal education, the author argues that in these troubled times, when conservative groups such as Students for Academic Freedom have set themselves in opposition to a "liberal professoriate," faculty need to keep in mind that the goal of higher education is to teach college students to use analytical thinking in the development of new ideas. Thus, she states that feminist educators must remain true to the feminist agenda of creating a collaborative learning experience that includes, honors, and values different opinions while maintaining safe space for students and professors. It is their time to fight for academic freedom in their colleges and universities, and to reclaim their rights as liberal educators. (ERIC).
