ARTICLESTATEMENT ON ACADEMICFREEDnM AND RESPONSIBILITYThe purpose of this statement is to promote publicunderstanding and support of academic freedomand tenure and agreement upon procedures toassure them in colleges and universities. Institu-tions of higher education are conducted for thecommon good and not to further the interest ofeither the individual teacher or the institution asa whole. The common good depends upon the fresearch for truth and its free exposition.Institutions of higher education are committed tothe solution of problems and controversies by themethod of rational discussion. Acts of physicalforce or disruptive acts which interfere with uni-versity activities, freedom of movement on thecampus, or freedom for students to pursue theirstudies are the antithesis of academic freedomand responsibility and are acts which in effectdeny freedom of speech, freedom to be heard andfreedom to pursue research of their own choosingto members of the academic community or toinvited visitors to that community.Academic freedom is the right of scholars in insti-tutions of higher education freely to study, dis-cuss, investigate, teach and publish.Academic freedom applies to both teaching andresearch. Freedom in research is fundamental tothe advancement of truth. Academic freedom inits teaching ospect is fundamental for the protec-tion of the rights of the teacher in teaching andof the student to freedom in learning. It carrieswith it duties correlative with rights.

Academic Freedom(1) The teacher is entitled to full freedom in re-search and in the publication of the results, sub-ject to the adequate performance of his other

academic duties; but research for pecuniary returnshould be based upon on understanding with theauthorities of the institution. 'I-

(2) The teacher is entitled to freedom in theclassroom in discussing his subject, but he shouldbe careful to present various scholarly views re-lated to his subject and avoid presenting totallyunrelated material.

Academic ResponsibilityThe concept of freedom should be accompanied

by an equally demanding concept of responsibility.The college or university teacher is a citizen, amember of a learned profession, and an officer ofan educational institution. When he speaks orwrites as a citizen, he should be free from Insti-tutional censorship or discipline, but his specialposition in the community imposes special obliga-tions. As a man of learning and an educationalofficer, he should remember that the public mayjudge his profession and his institution by his ut-terances. Hence he should at all times be accurate,should exercise appropriate restraint, should showrespect for the opinions of others, and should makeevery effort to indicate that he is not on institu-tional spokesman.

Furthermore, it is the policy of the Board of Trus-tees of State Colleges not to approve a salary forany faculty member or professional administratorbeyond the maximum salary range for the posi-tion as approved by the Board of Trustees.

B. The serious decision of granting tenure, de-mands that the President, before making recom-mendations to the Board of Trustees, have sub-stantial evidence determined through profes-

atonal evaluation that the candidate will be aconstructive and significant contributor to thecontinuous development of high quality educa-tion in the institution.
