ACADEMIC FREEDOM. A. The parties seek to educate young people to xxxxxx recognition of individual freedom and social responsibility, to inspire meaningful awareness of and respect for the Constitution, Xxxx of Rights, and laws of the land, and to instill appreciation of the values of individual personality. It is recognized that these democratic values can best be transmitted in an atmosphere in which academic freedom for teachers and students is encouraged.
ACADEMIC FREEDOM. 4.1 The common good of society depends upon the search for truth and its free exposition. Universities with academic freedom are essential to these purposes both in teaching and scholarship/research. Employees are entitled, therefore, to:
ACADEMIC FREEDOM. Academic freedom shall be guaranteed to all employees, and no special limitation shall be placed upon study, investigation, presentation and interpretation of facts and ideas concerning man, human society, the physical and biological world, and other branches of learning subject to accepted standards of professional responsibility, community standards, and District-approved curriculum. These responsibilities include a commitment to democratic tradition, a concern for the welfare, growth and development of children, and an insistence upon objective scholarship. Employees who create work on their own time, own the right to that work.
ACADEMIC FREEDOM. Society benefits from the search for knowledge and its free exposition. Academic freedom is essential to both these purposes in the teaching function of the University as well as in its scholarship and research. Every faculty employee is entitled to exercise academic freedom in the performance of their duties. Academic freedom is the freedom to examine, question, teach and learn and it involves the right to investigate, speculate, and comment without regard to prescribed doctrine. Academic freedom ensures the following:
ACADEMIC FREEDOM. 14.01 (i) All employees who are primarily responsible for the content and/or presentation of a course shall be accorded academic freedom in the design, shaping of course content, methodology, and/or presentation of that course. All other employees shall be accorded academic freedom as appropriate to the position held and its duties and responsibilities.
ACADEMIC FREEDOM. Academic freedom is the freedom of an employee to present and discuss all relevant matters in the classroom, to select instructional materials and determine grades, to pursue all avenues of scholarship, research and creative expression, to speak freely on all matters of University governance, and to speak, write or act as an individual, all without institutional discipline or restraint. Nothing in this Article will be understood to grant any right to be included on the agenda of any University meeting, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement or by law or University rule.
ACADEMIC FREEDOM. 8.02.1 Academic freedom shall be guaranteed to all teachers, and no special limitations shall be placed upon study, investigation, or presentation and interpretation of facts and ideas concerning man, human society, the physical and biological world, or other branches of learning, other than the limitation imposed by accepted standards of professional and educational responsibility and which are pertinent to the subject and level taught and to the educational objectives of the Chardon Schools.
ACADEMIC FREEDOM. 5.1.1 Academic freedom is essential for the proper development of the University. It functions to protect the institution from unwarranted interference by external groups and to ensure the retention of the services of those whose contributions toward its goals make them an essential part of the faculty. In so doing, it secures the autonomy and integrity of the University and makes its development as an intellectual community an object of primary concern.
ACADEMIC FREEDOM. 10.01 The parties agree to continue their practice of upholding, protecting, and promoting academic freedom as essential to the pursuit of truth and the fulfillment of the University’s objectives. Academic freedom includes the freedom of an employee to examine, question, teach, and learn; to disseminate his/her opinion(s) on any questions related to his/her teaching, professional activities, and research both inside and outside the classroom; to pursue without interference or reprisal, and consistent with the time constraints imposed by his/her other University duties, his/her research, creative or professional activities, and to freely publish and make public the results thereof; to criticize the University or society at large; and to be free from institutional censorship. Academic freedom does not require neutrality on the part of the individual, nor does it preclude commitment on the part of the individual. Rather, academic freedom makes such commitment possible.
