American Association of University Professors 1940 Statement of Principles on Academic Freedom and Tenure and defined in University Standard 580-022-0005 the Board of Trustees Policy on the Roles of the Board, President and Faculty, Shared Governance and Academic Freedom, adopted by the Board on June 22, 2017. Faculty are entitled, without institutional discipline or restraint, to discuss all relevant matters in the classroom, to explore all avenues of scholarship, research, and creative expression, and to speak or write on matters of public concern as well as on matters related to professional duties and the functioning\u00a0 of the University. Academic freedom carries with it certain responsibilities, such as the faithful performance of professional duties and obligations, the recognition of the demands of the scholarly\u00a0 enterprise, and the candor to make it clear that when one is speaking on matters of public interest, one is not speaking for the institution. The University affirms its continued commitment to the protection of academic freedom with changes in the political and technological landscape.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n American Association of University Professors \u2013\u00a0Advancing Academic Freedom<\/a><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Resources<\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" American Association of University Professors 1940…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1554,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"splash-page.php","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-777","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/freedom-of-expression\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/777","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/freedom-of-expression\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/freedom-of-expression\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/freedom-of-expression\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1554"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/freedom-of-expression\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=777"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/freedom-of-expression\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/777\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wou.edu\/freedom-of-expression\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=777"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}\n
