FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Nadine Strossen, Professor of Law at New York Law School, has
been awarded the Richard S. Arnold Prize for her article, "Sexual
Harassment in the Workplace: Accommodating Free Speech and Gender Equity
Values," published as the lead article in Volume 31 of the Free Speech
Yearbook. The Arnold Prize is awarded annually by the Speech
Communication Association's Commission on Freedom of Expression for the
outstanding article and is named in honor of Richard S. Arnold, Chief
Judge of the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, a former
Associate Editor of the Free Speech Yearbook, and a jurist noted for his
outstanding opinions in Constitutional and First Amendment law.
In presenting the Arnold Prize to Professor Strossen, Dr. Raymond
S. Rodgers, Chair of the Awards Committee of the SCA Commission on
Freedom of Expression, said, "Like yourself, Judge Richard Arnold was a
magna cum laude graduate of Harvard Law School, which he attended after
graduating magna cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa in Classics from Yale
University. In 1960, he served as law clerk to Justice William Brennan
at the Supreme Court of the United States. The Commission feels strongly
that the kind of free speech scholarship we choose to honor with the
Richard S. Arnold Prize should manifest the intellectual rigor that these
credentials characterize. Your article shall surely set a template to
which future winners will be challenged to aspire."
