Ira Kipnis

Ira Kipnis taught political science, American history and constitutional law at the University of Chicago. In 1953, he invoked the Fifth Amendment during Senator Joseph McCarthy’s hearings on communist activity rather than testify about the political views of colleagues. He subsequently resigned from the University faculty and entered law school. Kipnis died in 2002.
