Academic Freedom

"Academic freedom is the indispensable requisite for unfettered teaching and research in institutions of higher education."

Tenure

"The principal purpose of tenure is to safeguard academic freedom. When faculty members lose their positions because of their speech or publications ​or research findings, they cannot properly fulfill their core responsibilities to advance and transmit knowledge."

Shared Governance

We emphasize the "importance of faculty involvement in personnel decisions, selection of administrators, preparation of the budget, and determination of educational policies."

Collective Bargaining

"Academic unions are the most recent in a long line of collegial structures forged to protect the rights and professional roles of academics."
