This institution is committed to assuring full academic freedom to all faculty. Confident in the
qualifications and expertise of its faculty members, the School encourages its faculty members to
exercise their individual judgments regarding the content of the assigned courses, organization of
topics and instructional methods, providing only that these judgments are made within the context of
the course descriptions as currently published, and providing that the instructional methods are
those official sanctioned by the institution.
This institution's ownership believes that the most important diversity that can accrue to the benefit
of students is the diversity of thought that results from free discussion, the open expression of viewpoints
and opinions on the subject matter at hand, and the diversity of thought that results from the
free exercise of research and original thinking in the academic fields related to the institution’s
course offerings.
This institution, therefore, supports and encourages instructors and students to engage in
discussion and dialog. Students and faculty members alike are encouraged to freely express views
as long as they believe it would advance understanding in the specialized discipline being studied. |
